Megan and I have suspected that our mutual friend who introduced us may have been playing Cupid. It's funny because I wasn't even a little bit on the market at the time; I just had no desire to meet anyone, but then I met Megan and everything changed. I never used to believe in the notion of 'love at first sight' but yes, I think that's what it was. How to articulate it? It wasn't like some sort of automatic soul recognition; it was more like I saw Megan, and I felt my world shift but didn't yet know why. I just knew that I experienced something strong and new to me when I saw her for the first time. Even now, I can still vividly recall the visceral reaction that was the result of turning the corner in our friend’s basement and seeing Megan standing there. She was fresh out of the shower with wet, curly hair and adorned in clothes borrowed from our friend. At that moment, something inside me clicked—something I couldn’t yet fully understand, but my brain seemed to know. It’s funny how the brain works. Emotions shape our memories as we're storing them, you know. Even before I could process it consciously, my mind was already storing that moment, almost like it understood the weight of what was happening. It’s like the neurons in my brain, awash in the rush of new feelings, knew that moment would matter forever, and they recorded it in high definition—like they were marking the start of something life-changing.

January 21st, 2024, will always hold a special place in my heart: it was the day that Megan asked me to marry her. It was a complete surprise and one of the happiest moments of my life. Megan handed me a letter, and as I started reading, I realized what was happening. The words she wrote were beautiful and heartfelt. While I was reading, she got down on one knee. I was so flustered and caught off guard that all I could say was, "I don't know what to say." She just laughed and said, "Say yes." And so I did, without a second of hesitation. I truly appreciated the intimacy of that moment. It was just the two of us, and that made it all the more special. The letter she proposed with has become one of my most treasured possessions. I’ve since framed it, and it now hangs proudly on the gallery wall in our bedroom. It’s a tangible reminder of that day, the love we share, and the journey we’re on together.
