It all started with two swipes. The first was a tentative gesture, a hesitant movement across the screen that held the weight of possibility. It was a swipe to the right, signaling interest, opening the door to potential connection. Alexis nor Logan knew that despite having some skepticism, they were about to embark on an unexpected and exciting journey. Both had approached online dating with a mix of curiosity and caution, unsure of what to expect. They had heard stories from friends about both successes and failures, and while they were hopeful, they also remained realistic. They both knew they had started their online dating journey to find “the one”-someone who understood them, challenged them, and shared their vision of a life built on mutual respect and companionship. They both sought to find a partner that they could not only navigate life’s ups and downs with, but someone who was not only a lover but also a best friend. Neither knew that it would be months before they got to meet in person due to work, school schedules and of course the infamous Texas snowstorm of 2021. Despite all the obstacles being placed in front of them they still managed to navigate their new connection. At one point Logan even decided to take a bold step. Logan serenaded Alexis with "Lost in This Moment" by Big & Rich. This heartfelt gesture was not only a testament to Logan's affection but also a memorable milestone that hinted at the deeper connection they would continue to build. Before long, they decided to meet in person. Their first date at Longhorn Steakhouse was a blend of excitement and nerves, a typical first encounter that both would remember for its unique charm. The conversation started with the usual small talk—questions about their favorite foods and movies—each trying to gauge the other's interests. Despite their efforts, there were moments when the conversation hit a lull, leaving a silence that felt louder than the chatter of the restaurant. The waitress, attentive and experienced, noticed the occasional awkward pauses. She tried to ease the tension by recommending the house special and sharing a little joke, which momentarily brought laughter and helped them find common ground. As the weeks turned into months, Alexis and Logan realized that their initial skepticism had given way to something genuine and meaningful. Their relationship, which began with tentative steps, was now a source of joy and comfort for both, proving that sometimes, taking a chance on something new can lead to wonderful outcomes. Just as Logan had taken a leap in showing his feelings for Alexis, she decided to do the same. From the moment they began talking on the phone Alexis always wanted to end the call with, “Bye, love you.” On this particular day she had the familiar flutter in her chest. This time however, she embraced it. She took a deep breath, letting her heart guide her words. The phone call was coming to an end, Alexis knew it was now or never. “I love you” she blurted and hung up the phone. The phone rang immediately after, it was Logan. Alexis answered to Logan blurting out “I love you” and hanging up. Alexis called back to which both answered with joyful laughter and a final “I love you”. Her heart raced, not out of fear, but from the overwhelming joy that Logan felt the same way. Both had expressed their true feelings, bringing them even closer. Though let the record show Alexis said I love you first, while Logan will say otherwise. Now here we are four years later as they prepare to celebrate their commitment with friends and family, Logan and Alexis look forward to the next chapter of their adventure together. Their story is a reminder that love often finds us when we least expect it, and when it does, it can transform our lives in the most wonderful ways. Here's to their continued happiness and the many adventures that await them. “Yes, you’ll be in my heart. From this day on, now and forever more” – Tarzan
