We’re getting married

Dario and Melissa met in New York City—working, crossing paths every time he came to service the building equipment. He noticed her first (of course), and not long after, he asked her out. She said no. Then said no again. Not in a harsh way, just… not interested. Focused on work. Timing wasn’t right. To his credit, he didn’t push. After a while, he stopped asking, but that was it. Then, one day, she left the job. No big announcement, no goodbye—just gone. He noticed her absence almost immediately. Days turned into weeks, and she didn’t come back. That was that. Life moved on, as it does in a city like New York. Until one day—months later—he came across her on social media. Just a simple follow, a "Hey, how have you been?" message. This time, when he asked her out, she surprised them both and said yes. One date turned into many. Coffee turned into dinner, and somehow, all those almosts and maybes turned into something real. Turns out, the timing just had to be right.
