I guess we should thank Bumble! One random night in Feb 2021, amidst a long lasting pandemic, two people decided to swipe right. On Bumble, its up to the woman to send the first message. Jenn decided to lead with "Hey fellow Taurus". While neither of them were incredibly versed in zodiac signs, this was the first of many things these two would learn they have in common. A week later, a first date was planned. As fate would have it, that same week, Ra had unexpected car trouble and had to cancel the initial date. Ra told Jenn he wouldn't be able go on a date anytime soon and understood if she chose to move on. Jenn had a simple reply......."I'll wait!" She had enjoyed conversations with Ra so much, she really felt it was important to see where it would go in person. Eventually on March 23, 2021, they decided on a Taco Tuesday at Guadalajara in Temecula. A decision was made to sit outside on the open patio so the pair could spend time talking without wearing a mask. Jenn and Ra literally talked until the place closed, being the last ones in the restaurant to leave. When they received the bill, both of them pulled out debit cards since they had agreed to make the first date more casual and go dutch.....they were identical Star Wars Darth Vader themed cards. Turns out, they both got those cards to impress their kids. Although neither of them intended on getting into a serious relationship, it was clear they both didn't want whatever this was to end. This turned into every time they were free, one of them drove over to see the other between Santa Ana and Murrieta. Over time things progressed enough to seamlessly introduce the kids and slowly create lasting relationships. It was perfect! An interesting fact about Ra and Jenn is that they dated for 6 months and never turned on a tv. They spent all their time hiking, eating their favorite foods, trying new restuarants, such as Savage Chef in Menifee, and talking. They found out they had so many things in common, yet, were also learning so much from each other's unique perspectives and experiences. By Christmas 2021, Ra, Jenn and the kids had developed in to a family. There was mutual admiration in the way they both handled everyday life. There was passion and excitement. A new energy was embraced that maybe before felt unattainable. For the first time both found a partner they felt could truly be trusted, relied on, and could cheer for wholeheartedly. Almost Four years later, these two Tauruses are excited to bring their relationship and family together in a life long bond of love, laughter, similarities, and differences as they seal this bond in marriage.
