Like many modern love stories, ours officially began online, but the truth is, we had already crossed paths before we ever swiped. We knew each other through family connections (he’s friends with my uncle), and years earlier he had even sold me a car. At the time, it was just one of those “small world” moments, friendly, familiar, and nothing more. Fast forward a few years and a couple of right swipes on Facebook Dating, a message was sent and somehow… everything just clicked. What started as a casual conversation quickly turned into hours of talking, laughing, and realizing this wasn’t as random as we thought. We quickly became inseparable best friends. The rest came naturally: easy conversations, growing feelings, and the unmistakable sense that this was something special. Time apart got shorter and shorter as we both knew this was real. This was it. This was what we had been praying and preparing ourselves for. Turns out, the right person can be right there the whole time. Sometimes it just takes a little time (and a catchy tag line on your dating profile) to figure it out.
