We were just two young souls trying to figure out what came next in life when the world suddenly hit pause. COVID turned everything upside down plans, dreams, normalcy but somehow, in the middle of all that uncertainty, we found each other. Our first date wasn’t exactly conventional. Somewhere between the nervous small talk and the end of the evening, Alec and my dad ended up deep in conversation… for three hours! And there I was, just standing there watching the two of them talk like old friends. It was in that surreal, oddly perfect moment that I just knew — this was it. He was the one. Now, when we think back to those early days, I smile. Two young kids in the middle of a pandemic, unsure of everything but somehow sure of each other. That’s how our forever began.
