December 27 2024, we went on our Facebook dating profiles and matched with each other at 4:21pm. He messaged first with a very clever “Hey you.” 71 days later he officially asked to date, then 8 months and 7 days later he would ask to spend the rest of his life with me. Our story is one of connection, laughter, and a quiet understanding that grows stronger with time. Neither one of us knew that those first few messages would turn into our new journey together, forever.
