It's wedding time!

It all began when they were both working at the same hospital in Columbus, GA. Joel was a therapy tech and Miriam was a financial counselor. Joel had seen Miriam in the hallways a few times and thought that she was cute. Miriam was extremely shy and would try her hardest to not make eye contact with anyone in the halls. Joel finally came up behind her one day, tapped her shoulder and told her she looked nice today (per Joel that was the day Miriam fell inlove with his beautiful blue eyes). Miriam being Miriam blushed nervously, said thank you, hid her face behind a large binder and ran the opposite direction. During the next few weeks they would start running into each other more often and finally another coworker forced Miriam into the same room that Joel was helping a patient forcing her to talk to Joel. After that, Joel left his phone number on Miriams work computer and she thought it was a joke from her coworker, so she texted the number and realized it was actually Joel. The friendship started from that moment which eventually grew in to more but neither wanted to admit it. They would go on "friend" dates and talk all day but it didn't become official until some months later. Joel and Miriam have grown together, have moved a few times and created a beautiful life with their two kids, Jax and JJ, and are finally tired of living in sin. Thanks for reading our cheesey hallmark story. See y'all in Italy.
