Veronica: On April 6th 2022, I received a message from Hinge. “Hey, I am Thierry. Thank you for liking my bike.” It was from a gentleman whose profile I had seen a day before, and had liked for its simplicity. Around 2am about 48hrs later, I responded. “Hey! Veronique here. You are welcome, it is a pretty nice-looking bike!” The next day he answered, asked me about Cameroon, and a lengthy, interesting conversation ensued. We met in person for the first time a few days later. Over the next few months, our relationship grew from strangers, into friends, into more than friends. Everyday I found something new to be fascinated by with him. He was funny and warm, and one could tell from the way he talked about his family and close friends, how much he cared for them. We spent more time in each other’s company, and realized we had many things in common, to the point where we even shared an acquaintance: his best friend’s cousin had been my teammate on the Montgomery College Women’s Soccer Team almost a decade ago. Talk about six degrees of separation! Thierry: Needless to say, the next few days and months went very well. I met her doctor buddies, and her dog Roadie. Her youngest sister, Maggie, googled me to see whether or not I was a serial killer. Thankfully, I passed the google check! Her sister Sandrine immediately treated me like an old friend, making me feel most welcome and completely comfortable. Veronica also met my friends and my family, and things progressed in due course. Fast forward to three months later, her Dothan year ends and she moves to Sylacauga. Instead of a 2-hour drive, our relationship was maintained over a 4-hour drive. This year, we have been separated across various states and cities. Veronica: ​​When we first met, I told Thierry about my life and the situation I was in. Being a medical student, and in the military meant a lot of uncertainty and things beyond my control. Thierry replied with four words: “We’ll figure it out,” and those words have been the bedrock of our relationship. Thierry: I mean..I enjoy long rides, I wanted to be with her and knew that I wanted to stay by her side, quirks and all. I still think the same to this day! I am looking forward to spending every day with her, especially with a lot less mileage between us! Veronica: The past two years have been a whirlwind of events and emotions. Through all of this, Thierry has kept me grounded with those four words, and with support and patience for one another and from our friends and family we have arrived at this joyful juncture. I am so grateful to God for placing you in my path, and for giving me the honor of being your person. I cannot wait to continue figuring out this thing called life with you!
