Although we had known of each other for years, we didn't connect until February 2020, right before the entire world changed in the midst of a global pandemic. Our love story stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of connection. In the face of uncertainty, we found not only love but a profound understanding of the strength that lies in vulnerability, the beauty that emerges from chaos as well as the humor needed to navigate it, and the magic that can unfold even in the darkest of times.
