We are Getting Married!

It all started with a twist of fate on Tinder, where my fiancé and my high school best friend matched. But thanks to the pandemic and life's unexpected turns, their potential date never happened. Instead, they remained friends for months. Then one fateful day, my friend introduced me to him during a Discord call that was meant for studying. But studying turned into gaming, cracking jokes, and hours of laughter. As the night wore on, my friend dozed off on the call, prompting my fiancé and me to playfully prank her awake. It was then that we discovered our shared sense of humor and clicked instantly. We started exchanging lengthy essays of texts on Snapchat, spending 5 to 10 minutes crafting each message to learn more about each other. Soon, regular calls followed, deepening our friendship while I secretly harbored a crush on him. Our first in-person meeting finally happened at the Mall, where we wandered and talked for hours. Wanting to continue our conversation, we decided to grab some boba tea nearby. As we sipped our drinks, our connection deepened, and a lingering hug between us as we said goodbye spoke volumes about our budding feelings. He wanted to ask me out right then and there, but nerves got the best of him. Instead, he mustered the courage later that day and popped the question over text—asking me on an official date. Our first date at an Italian restaurant was filled with laughter and a delightful surprise when he attempted to impress me by eating calamari with a knife and fork. It was endearing when he admitted it wasn't his usual style, and we ended up enjoying our calamari in a more relaxed manner, already comfortable in each other's company. And the rest, as they say, is history. Our journey from Discord pranks to heartfelt conversations and spontaneous boba tea outings has led us here—to a love that grows deeper with every passing day.
