As many of you may not know, my journey with Chuck began seven years ago. He met my family before I even had the chance to meet him in person at the Grove during Wing Night. That evening sparked a wonderful friendship. Chuck would visit me every night I worked just to enjoy my company and share conversations. At that time, I was completely unaware of his true feelings for me, as I didn’t see the incredible man right in front of me. Over the years, we kept in touch even after I moved away. Whenever I returned for special weddings and events, we would meet, share laughs, and catch up. Little did we know that all this time, we were meant to be together. It was a beautiful moment to share our first kiss at the very place where we began our journey. Chuck often says that soulmates often do see each other before they ever become a couple, and I wholeheartedly agree. We truly are forever soulmates in the journey.
