We’re getting married!

It all started with one swipe and almost didn’t happen. She almost swiped left, but something about his goofy smile made her stop. He messaged first with, “Well, lucky for you, my personality is also way better than my looks,” a line so cheesy it actually made her smile and that’s where it all began. Their messages were short and simple… “Add me on Snap.” But soon the conversation felt so easy that she caught herself thinking, “Why aren’t we doing this over queso?” So, naturally, their first date was Mexican food. He showed up in his Toyota 86, the “chick magnet,” as he proudly called it, and she was instantly nervous (partly from the Red Bull she’d just had, and partly because she was meeting a total stranger from Tinder). But once they sat down, everything just clicked. After dinner, neither of them wanted the night to end, so he took her to climb the biggest hill in Maysville to see the bridge lights. He practically sprinted to the top while she trailed behind, trying not to sound out of breath. When they finally made it, the view was gorgeous… the bridge glowing, the moon full, the sky perfectly clear. They sat there for hours, talking, laughing, and realizing how natural it all felt. On the way back, they stopped at a gas station. Somehow, he knew she needed something warm and came back out holding a hot chocolate just for her. That simple gesture changed everything. They ended the night sitting on his couch, talking until 2:30 a.m., completely comfortable and totally themselves. The next day, they saw each other again. And the day after that. Before long, they were meeting each other’s friends and families, taking trips together, and building a life that just made sense. Now, they’re getting ready to say “I do” all because of one swipe, one goofy smile, and one very cheesy message. Funny how the best love stories start with something small… and turn into everything.
