We're Getting Married!

Once upon a time, in a world filled with dating apps, mutual friends, and chance encounters, fate decided to write a love story for two unsuspecting souls—Nathan Morris and Sydney Engle.. They were like two puzzle pieces—totally different shapes, but destined to fit perfectly. Their first encounter wasn’t what you’d call “storybook.” They met while working together at a place called Shopko. Nathan Morris and Sydney Engle were just trying to make it through their shifts—but little did they know, love was about to clock in, too. Nathan was the dependable employee who could fix anything—from a broken price scanner to an out-of-control inventory spreadsheet. Sydney, on the other hand, was the queen of customer service, charming even the grumpiest shoppers with her kindness and patience. Their first meeting happened on a simple day after Nathan was introduced to Sydney to start his training in the apparel department after being hired on as a new hire. That's also the first time these two smiled at each other and whether they knew it or not, their futures were intertwined. Despite the stress of the day, Nathan’s dry humor and Sydney’s quick wit sparked a connection. Over time, their shared shifts turned into inside jokes and their friendship grew. Nathan admired Sydney’s ability to make even the toughest days fun, while Sydney found Nathan’s calm problem-solving skills oddly endearing. It wasn’t long before coworkers started noticing their chemistry, teasing them about their “teamwork” on store projects and displays. But life had other plans. Shortly after the holiday rush, Nathan was let go due to a round of staffing cuts. Though they didn’t work together anymore, Nathan and Sydney stayed in touch as friends for a while, texting occasionally and checking in now and then. Eventually, as life often does, they drifted apart. Fast forward nine years. Nathan and Sydney reconnected unexpectedly through social media. What started as a casual exchange of “How have you been?” quickly reignited the spark they’d once shared. This time, however, it was different. Both had grown, changed, and were ready for something deeper. Their conversations grew longer, their connection stronger, and before long, their friendship blossomed into something more. They realized that, despite the years apart, they’d always had a special bond—one that was now ready to become the foundation of a lifetime together. And so, Sydney and Nathan’s love story came full circle, proving that sometimes, love takes its time—but it always arrives right on schedule.
