We met, like many in our generation, on an app (Tinder, to be exact). Being that we were both exceptionally awkward, we texted for two full years before finally gathering the courage to meet. We had a terrible first date (I’m not exaggerating, we’ve both agreed it was the most awkward, worst date we’ve ever been on). By some miracle, we kept talking and tried a second date. He cooked for me and I met his angry cat. We watched The Princess Bride. Neither of us would admit it, but it was love at second sight. Three years later, we finally said I love you (I know). We’ve gone through triumphs and trials, moves and long distance. Our friendship, love and respect for each other has not only remained constant, but grown over time. We’ve started a business together, adopted two cats… And now, 12 years after swiping right, we’re jumping the broom!
