One day, Miah was scrolling through her hundreds of eligible bachelors on Hinge when she saw a comment on one of her photos: “That’s a big‑ass cat.” To be fair… she does have a big‑ass cat. Curious, she clicked on the commenter’s profile and thought, “Well, that’s a good‑looking fella.” She matched with him, and they started chatting. This man’s name was Everett and Everett wasted no time and quickly set up a date at Common Bond. On the day of the date, Miah was mildly stressed, circling the parking lot in her bright orange car, unable to find a spot. As she looped around, she spotted Everett standing by the entrance and thought, “Please don’t let him see me act a fool.” She finally found street parking, walked over, and they hugged hello. Miah ordered a pistachio croissant; Everett ordered potatoes. They started talking about work, Miah was a nurse at MD Anderson GI Clinic at that time, and Everett was a data analyst. Miah then revealed the real reason she wanted to match with him: she had a joke she was dying to tell. When she first saw his profile, she misread his job title as Data ANAL‑yst instead of Data Analyst. It made her laugh so hard she wanted to share the joke with him in person. She told it during the date, immediately laughing and blushing. Everett, who had never heard this joke before, was baffled… and then, somehow, already falling in love. Their date continued at Jeni’s Ice Cream, where they bonded over hobbies. Everett mentioned he played one of the “whitest sports out there,” and without hesitation, Miah guessed pickleball. She told him she dabbled in it too, and they agreed to play later that evening. A few hours later, Everett absolutely decimated Miah in pickleball, using his height to his full advantage and leaving her in the dust. Afterward, they grabbed dinner at Jollibee, Everett’s first time. As he was falling in love with Miah, he was also falling in love with Jollibee’s glorious, uniquely delicious flavors. Since then, Everett has met the legendary big‑ass cat , along with the big‑ass cat’s equally dramatic siblings. He is now a proud and happy cat daddy to Rachel, Jeremy, and Jason. Unfortunately, they will not be joining us on the wedding day due to their crippling fear of the outdoors… and their even more crippling fear of their cat carriers. They send their love from the safety of their climate‑controlled home. And now… All of us will be gathered together on December 19, 2026, because Miah wanted to tell Everett a butt joke, and somehow, that joke changed everything.
