The age-old love story: It began on Tinder in 2016, when I was living in San Marcos, and he was in Austin. We met up for a date, but it was short-lived—I had to leave early to pick up my best friend (who's now my maid of honor) from a party. Little did we know that such a brief encounter would set the stage for something much more meaningful. Not long after that, I received a friend request from him. And just like that, our six-year-long secret online crush began. I remember seeing his posts over the years and thinking, "Maybe I’ll just like this one so he’ll see my name and think I’m cool for sharing the same interests." He’d occasionally message me with sweet or flirty comments, but it never materialized into much of anything. Then, in early 2022, after years of little moments, our stars finally aligned. I accidentally sent him a Snapchat to which he almost immediately responded. From that moment on, we couldn’t stop talking. Our friendship was instant, and it felt like we’d known each other for a lifetime. Everything just started to fall into place. We talked about how we had missed each other for so long without ever really realizing it, and it quickly became clear we were perfect for each other. We shared our hopes, dreams, memories, and fears in the way only people who are truly meant to be together can. And in no time, we found ourselves planning our future together. Our connection was effortless, and it felt like our hearts were always meant to beat in sync. We quickly realized we were no longer just friends; we had grown into something much deeper and more meaningful. We spent the next few years discovering new adventures and building a life together. Whether it was quiet nights in or spontaneous trips, every moment felt like a piece of our forever. We are best friends, partners, and soulmates all rolled into one. It didn’t take long for us to realize that this was the person we were meant to marry. As we prepare for our wedding, we reflect on the unexpected journey that brought us here - the six years of missed moments and the beautiful reunion that followed. Our story may have started with a few brief encounters and a slow-burning crush, but it led us to this chapter, and it feels like everything has fallen perfectly into place. We know that the best is yet to come, and we can’t wait to see where this adventure takes us as we build our lives together, hand in hand.
