Ken's surprise engagement to Risse

The Dating App

That day...May 23, 2024

We met on a dating app, both just searching for something real, but I never thought love would cross so many miles. I had set my preferences tight, never dreaming of a long-distance relationship. But her profile stood out—her smile, her words—and when I saw she was in Southfield, Michigan, I hesitated. I thought, there's no way we could make this work. But something inside me said, "Try anyway." So I did, and the next day, she replied. As it turned out, she had family here in Charlotte, and within a year, she was moving down. My wife always said, "Your soulmate might not be in the same city," and she was right. Here we are, together, proving that love knows no boundaries.
