Question

His Story....

Answer

Many believe in love at first sight, it surely is a beautiful concept. Loving that person from the first moment you met them is everyone's desire. However, as 1 Peter 3:4 mentions "the secret person of the heart" is what matter most, and that takes time, sometimes even years... You see I had heard of Yael through a Aaron (someone I consider practically my brother), he was going through his love story and Yael was best friends with his now wife. Eventually after hearing her name numerous times, I met her on April 13, 2019, however, that was no special occasion (she always forgets we met on this day), she was just a nice person that I had met. Frankly, I didn't see her again until June 15 of the same year briefly. After that life went on and then 2020 COVID paralyzes all social life as we knew it, the first half of 2021 blazes through and then comes September 2021 a very memorable date, our two closest friends were getting married and Yael and I were chosen to be bridal partners. Many people claim to have seen our connection that day although me and her didn't. Perhaps we were busy with other aspects of our lives, but it was clear we weren't there yet. However, I did start to see her more often, we were friends now. Doing what friends do, we went out to eat, we went to gatherings, even had a good old snowball fight in one of the last blizzards this city has seen. One day Yael expresses she wants to go to San Fransisco, and a good group of us decide that we are down to go. I didn't notice it at that moment but I was observing perhaps subconsciously, I was mesmerized by how organized she was with spreadsheets on budget and schedules of what we were gonna do, something unknown to me at that time. That continued on the trip in May of 2022, her organization allowed this trip to be a success, it was fun and we did so much in the time we were there. That the trip was a before and after for me. That was the moment she became a possibility of something more...

Question

Her Story

Answer

I had heard of Edwin through one of my best friends. Her and her now husband, had an eye on each other (our group of friends had noticed) and she had mentioned Edwin every now and then since Edwin was her now husband's cousin. When we met the first time I thought he was nice brother but didn't think much of it. We saw each other again at a party in June of 2019. He claims that we danced...but...there's no pictures to prove it. So it's his word against mine! Lol. We saw each other again in May of 2021 as our friends got engaged. We started to see more of each other during the months leading up to the wedding. He was the best man and I was the maid of honor. After the wedding, the bridal party started to hang out more and we even organized a trip to San Fransisco a few months following the wedding. Honestly, that was the trip that changed everything. I got to know Edwin a lot more during that week. As we had more frank and personal conversations I noticed amazing qualities that I had not noted before. He was very attentive of everyone. He was so responsible and made sure that we were all having a good time. I even noticed that we both had the same dry sense of humor. However, I was not looking to date anyone. So, let's just say, I was in very deep denial after that trip lol! I think I didn't want to accept that my perception of him had changed. So, we did continue to hang out with our group of friends. Even though I didn't want to see him in a new light, once I started to see even more awesome qualities in him, I knew that I had to accept the truth, I had a crush..
