Psychology will tell you that, "the best things in life are found when you are not looking for them." No other quote can better exemplify the love story that developed between Abigail Justine "AJ" Logan and Chris Clesca.
Life can come at you hard. Imagine a world changing event coinciding with some significant life adjustments. This is the world that AJ and Chris were experiencing when a chance encounter took place between these two kindred spirits.
Fighting through a global pandemic, moving into new apartments, battling loneliness, and fear of inadequacy, these two star-crossed lovers were introduced to each other through everyone's favorite dating site, Tinder.
Chris found himself enamored with her smile, worldly experience, intelligence, and the beautiful mix of ability to accomplish anything dressed in elegant femininity.
AJ was impressed by his soulful eyes, kindness, his care for his dog, A$AP Rocky, his affectionate behavior and his whiskey collection, of course.
Quickly, these two bonded over their love of restaurants, cocktail bars, travel, and Muay Thai. These bonds grew to admiration of future plans, liberal openness, and ideas of family.
They focused on communication and exploring their emotions, their past, and their struggles to open the door to a deeper solid connection. They saw hills and valleys (even some mountains) but always found themselves coming back to each other. As AJ would put it, "It felt better to be together than it ever felt to be apart."
This couple found their way to many of America's greatest cities and even areas around the world. But their, most challenging trip came when they decided to move across the country and live in San Mateo, California. This was challenging, but these two pioneers were up for any difficulty.
Their bond was made even stronger when they decided to stand at one of the highest points in NYC, peer west towards their future, and commit to spending the rest of their lives together.
With a blue sapphire on her finger, (Big Penn State Girl), AJ said yes to Chris' proposal, and just a few days later they were Westward Bound to their new home and our new life. Let the next Journey Begin!
