We're Getting Married!

Marcus and I met on BUMBLE (an online dating app). Technically in December of 2018. I guess those apps do work. On the Bumble app if both people swipe right it's a match but the woman has to make the first move and send the first message, if not, the guy disappears in 24 hours...boy am I so glad I made that first move. We waited about a month before we actually met in person because we were both very busy. I was traveling both personally and for work, he was managing a political campaign, which resulted in him working over 60 hour weeks. In the meantime, Marcus decided to actually pick up the phone and call me...who does that anymore? From the moment we started talking on the phone it felt so easy to talk to each other and we talked almost every day until we actually met in person. We decided since we are so chatty with each other it's time to meet face-to-face. We met at a coffee shop called the Jumping Bean Cafe in the Pilsen neighborhood. Marcus bought me a dirty chai (my first time trying one) and molletes, which is toasted bread with refried beans, cheese, avocado and pico de gallo. It was delicious and the dirty chai became my favorite drink to order at Jumping Bean. Because Marcus was running a campaign and working over 60 hour weeks, he didn't have a lot of time to dedicate to a relationship. He stated that he is super busy and me being me....I decided to come to him. Since I have flexibility in my job to work remotely, I went to his office and worked remotely from there a few times a week so that we could spend some time together. We hit it off right away and once the campaign was over we started dating and the rest is history. We are now getting married and I truly am marrying my best friend and I am so blessed to have found someone that loves me as much as I love him.
