Let's set the scene... It's December 27, 2019, and we're both invited to a small party at a mutual friend's house. Emily: I didn't expect much that night—just a casual hangout. I was there before John. I'm laughing at a video that my friend is showing me on her phone when suddenly John walked in the room. I noticed him immediately. My first thought-- "Oh, he's cute!" 😆 John: I made a semi-inappropriate joke (classic me), and when she laughed, I felt like I knew she was special. Never did I imagine that one moment would lead us here today. Emily: He had this demeanor about him that made him stand out from any other guy at the party. I loved that we instantly had a connection and he made me laugh right off the bat. I had a deadline for a project that week, so later that night I pull that out and start cutting away. My subtle way of flirting? I made him hold every tiny sequin I was cutting off the fabric. He had no idea what he was getting into! John: Who would’ve thought that, five and a half years later, I’d still be helping with crafts and sewing projects, but also still making her laugh every day. It’s funny how those little moments add up. Fast forward to February 23, 2020-- Emily: John asked me to be his girlfriend. But for some reason, I always got the date mixed up, calling our anniversary February 28th. Little did I know, we’d be planning our wedding on that very same day, exactly six years later. It's as if something inside me always knew that date would become a significant part of our story. We can't wait to have you there on our big day to celebrate our love! See you on the dance floor!
