What started as a simple night out for football and beers turned into the night that would change our lives forever. Amid the noise of the local watering hole and a chance conversation about protein shakes, we found a connection neither of us was looking for. What began as a friendship quickly grew into a bond we couldn't imagine being without. But it was during a difficult time, when Joe stood by my side with unwavering support, that we truly knew: we never wanted to stand alone again. We chose then to stay by each other's sides forever, and we've been writing our "happily ever after" ever since.
