We were introduced by a common friend the day before Valentine's day, who suggested we become each other's valentine's since we were both single. I was nervous and unsure, since at that time he was a stranger. I never could've imagined just how important he would become to me.

People come into our life in mysterious ways. You never know when you are going to meet the one. Maria came into my life in a chance phone call to a friend in a different city. I called my friend on valentines day and Maria was in the background. We got introduced to each other and started talking. It was awkward at first, but I could tell that she enjoyed my goofy behavior and that I could be myself. A few months later we met in person for the first time during one of her piano recitals and then we lived happily ever after. The End.
