Once upon a high school hallway, we sat in the same class, exchanged shy smiles, and quietly liked each other. But as teenage love stories often go… nothing happened. Just a few glances, maybe a missed moment, and then we moved on. Fate, however, wasn’t quite done with us. We ended up at the same college—same campus, same passing “hi’s” and “bye’s,” still no grand gesture or sweeping romance. The universe whispered, “Not yet.” Then, once the pandemic ended, he asked me out. I told him I had plans with the girls, but he was welcome to come by. He showed up. And this time? He stayed. He asked me out on a real date—just us—and something clicked. Suddenly, all the years of almosts and maybes turned into yes, absolutely, and always. Three years, countless memories, and a whole lot of laughter later… here we are, finally saying I do. Because when love is meant to be, it always finds its way—just on its own timeline.
