Taylor's Perspective: We always knew each other, right? Well, kind of. We had a ton of mutual friends in high school, and I’m pretty sure we passed each other at one point, but neither of us remembers actually talking. I’d like to think we just needed a little more time for the universe to work its magic. Fast forward a few years, and there I was, scrolling through Instagram like everyone else on a lazy Sunday. And then... there he was. I could have waited for him to message me first (he did have my number from high school after all), but I figured, why not make the first move? So, I sent him a message. It was casual, of course, just a fun little way of shooting my shot—because that's how you test the waters, right? Our first date felt like a scene from a movie. It was easy. It was natural. But when he walked in, I just knew. It wasn’t a lightning bolt or some grand gesture, it was this quiet, undeniable feeling deep down. I was already thinking about the future—one where we’d laugh about how we almost missed each other back in high school. And I didn’t waste any time—after that first date, I immediately called my mom and said, “I’m going to marry him.” Not sure if I was more excited or scared, but there was no turning back. And honestly, I wouldn’t have wanted to. Colin's Perspective: Funny how life works, right? I think we crossed paths a million times during our high school years. I had her number, for crying out loud! But never reached out. Maybe I was just waiting for the right moment... or maybe I was just a little shy back then. Fast forward to college and suddenly, I get a DM from her on Instagram. Yup, her—the girl I somehow never had the courage to reach out to all those years ago. I could have played it cool and waited for a few days, but nope—this was the moment I was waiting for. We set up a date, and I won’t lie—I knew she was something special the second I saw her. We talked like we’d known each other for years, which was funny, considering we hadn’t even really talked back in high school. But something about her energy, the way she laughed, the way she just clicked with me—I knew this was it. What I didn’t know was that by the end of that night, I’d be hearing about how she already had us getting married (a little fast, but I’m not complaining). Honestly, I couldn’t help but laugh. But deep down, I knew she was right. I was going to marry her, too. It was just a matter of time.
