Connor never imagined that a swipe on his phone would lead him to the love of his life. When he first came across Abigail’s profile, he thought she had to be too good to be true. A brilliant engineer with a heart full of kindness? Surely, it was a trick of the algorithm. But fate had other plans.

They met on a crisp March evening at The Mercantile. From the moment Abigail walked through the door, Connor’s breath caught. She was radiant, glowing with quiet confidence and warmth. They talked until the world outside disappeared—until the restaurant dimmed and closed around them, but neither noticed. Time had begun moving differently.

Soon after, they traveled together to Baltimore for Abigail’s graduation from Johns Hopkins. As they stood among the monuments and the spring breeze, something unspoken passed between them. It wasn’t just love blooming—it was the sense of home.

Their days together became a mosaic of shared joys: spontaneous road trips, new gluten-free treats, the thrill of bookstores, the magic of concerts, and quiet evenings cooking side by side. In Portland, Maine, on Abigail’s birthday, they laughed over paint and sip spills, devoured donuts from Holy Donuts, and battled it out over skee-ball—a night that lived on in their smiles.

When it came time to propose, Connor chose a place written into their hearts: Elm Park, where they’d shared picnics and pages, benches and sunsets. With a hidden photographer nearby, he dropped to one knee beneath the bare winter trees and asked the only question that ever truly mattered. She said yes.

To Connor, Abigail is everything—a brilliant mind and a tender soul, passionate, compassionate, and effortlessly kind. She is the melody to his quiet, the stars to his sky.

To Abigail, Connor is her best friend. He is the perfect balance of sweet and smart, with the most hilarious sense of humor. Connor fills her heart with warmth and laughter, and they both truly believe they were made for one another.

Now, with hearts full and hands intertwined, they look toward forever—grateful for every moment, and every person, that brought them to this one.
