When we met on Hinge during the unpredictable COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, our connection was like a bolt of lightning amidst the storm. Our first date was at Pink Taco, the only restaurant open in Los Angeles at the time. Little did we know, we had met our forever person. David was captivated not only by Haleys beauty and her striking brown eyes but also by her adventurous spirit that matched his own. She wasn’t looking for ordinary, and his tall, dark, and handsome presence stood out. Our conversations werent just about getting to know each other; they were the building blocks of our relationship. Being the oldest in my family gave me a nurturing assertiveness that David, the youngest in his family, found grounding yet exciting. In contrast, David showed me spontaneity and how to take life a little easier. Davids dad often said, Youll know the person you want to marry the day you meet her. With that in mind, David couldn’t wait to propose to Haley. He planned a getaway to Laguna Beach and made the most beautiful woman his forever. Through ups and downs, we knew our love was special and too strong to break apart. It’s the same feeling we had when we met on our first date—a connection that continues to grow and deepen each day.
