Some love stories are simple. Ours has plot twists. We first met — twice, actually — through our exes. Andrew’s ex was a friend of mine, and my ex was a friend of his. (Yes, really.) We crossed paths, parted ways, and somehow kept finding our way back to each other. As it turns out, we’d lived on the streets right behind one another for years without realizing it. Looking back, it feels like life kept nudging us closer, even when we weren’t quite ready. Over the past nine years, we’ve been through just about everything: breakups, makeups, growing pains, and the kind of love that doesn’t always look perfect — but always finds a way. What started as a wild ride has turned into the most meaningful journey of our lives. And now, after all the loops and detours, we’re exactly where we’re meant to be — together, and ready for forever.
