We're getting married!

The InterContinental is 1000% a matchmaker. We’ve witnessed so many people meet here and walk out as a couple. And as destiny would have it, we became one of them. I've always heard people talk about the red string theory, the idea that two people meant to be together are invisibly tied, no matter time or distance; but I never expected it to happen to us. We met for one single day in 2020, right before the world shut down. It started with me yapping about a Billie Eilish concert I had just gone to with friends the night before. Then the lockdown happened… and just like that, he disappeared from my daily life. Until April 2021. Months went by of working together, exchanging small conversations here and there. Eventually, I left the department we worked in, and somewhere between shared shifts and small moments, something started growing. I started to see Marvin in a different light but never mentioned anything to him. He says he caught feelings because I would feed him. I say I fell for him because he was simply… Marvin. Life moved fast. I started a new job. We barely talked until one day in May, he messaged me. And that’s when I broke the ice and finally said it. How I felt. To my surprise, he felt the exact same way. Four years flew by in what feels like seconds: Disney trips, spontaneous staycations, new experiences, moving in together, building a life side by side. And now, somehow, forever doesn’t feel far away at all. It feels like the most natural next step.
