We met six years ago, back in 2019, on a dating app — two strangers swiping through possibilities with no idea what the future had planned. We never actually met back then, and life carried us in different directions. But fate wasn’t finished with us yet. A few months later, when Hannah was going to KSU, at a party, we recognized each other instantly. What started as a funny “wait… don’t we know each other?” moment turned into something much deeper. We became best friends throughout college, throughout different states, and stayed close even after graduation. No matter what relationships we were in or where life took us, we always stayed in touch. We were each other’s constant — the person we could call, laugh with, confide in, and rely on. When we both finally found ourselves single at the same time, we started spending even more time together. And that’s when it hit us — it felt natural, easy, and right. Like we should have been dating all along. Our love didn’t rush in; it grew from friendship, loyalty, and years of knowing each other’s hearts. What started as a missed connection became perfect timing. And now, I get to marry not just the love of my life, but my best friend.
