Gerald and I were so lucky to meet through a mutual friend. Instead of sliding into each others DM's or swiping right on those apps we will not name, we met at our local gym back in 2021. Little did we know our friend was playing cupid! We bonded over Christmas time, both coming down with covid (how romantic, right?) and agreed to hang out once we overcame "the plague." Gerald and I hit it off, discovering that over time we've worked down the street from each other and had chances to run into each other in the same city we grew up in. Even though it took a few years, we're so grateful to have found each other when we did. Now, almost 3 years later here we are, engaged and ready for the lifetime subscription we call marriage!
