how they met

this sounds cooler in the third person, so obi changed all the we's to they's.

In college, they were involved in the same ministry but at different campuses, Anna at IUPUI and Obi at IU. In December of 2015, they both attended a conference in Louisville (city of love, no?). They were introduced to one another by mutual close friends: Obi's close friend was dating Anna's close friend (they're married now!). This first encounter was had over a card game and it was magical. Sparks were flying, spades were dropping. Aces, clubs, and hearts all over the place. The conference lasted 5 days and they really only got as far as playing cards together. Clearly, a very heated and intimate beginning. Over those 5 days, Anna had cooked up a crush and I don't say this sarcastically, but only God knows why or how. It's hard to imagine what Obi could have done to make someone like him. Maybe the way he dominated in cards was just that charming. So that's how they met. But they would meet again. They met when they each decided to go on a spring break cabin trip with their respective campus ministries, neither of them expecting to see the other on the trip. And I guess only God knows why but their ministries decided to share one big cabin. They met, in late spring, when Anna, for reasons completely independent of Obi, visited the church he attended in Bloomington and Obi's heart leapt in his chest when he saw her. They met when they, again, independent of one another, decided to spend their summers in Orlando with 200 other students from their campus ministry doing a 10 week program. They met when their rooms for the summer ended up being right next to one another. And because every student, besides Anna who worked from her laptop and Obi who got pneumonia 9 days in and had to quit, got a day job at Universal Studios, leaving the two alone at the resort, they met. They met at a Starbucks in August when they had returned home. That's when they decided to date. And they met in a park a little under a year later when Obi asked Anna to marry him.
