Swiping Right...

Miranda and Jake’s story starts like every common love story. They connected on Facebook dating (yes…that is a thing). Miranda made the first move by swiping right. Jake took a while to return the feelings. He just had a gut feeling that something was different about her.

Chapter 1: Love at First Swipe

Jake finally got up enough courage (liquid-ish) one night during a gaming session with friends on Apex. He did what every modern Romeo would do. He slid into her DMs with a pickup line she could not refuse. It was simple, yet effective. The time was 1:30 AM so he thought it would be like the others and fall through the cracks, but to his surprise, she replied…The conversation was quick, but feelings were becoming mutual. Over the next few days, stories were told, and laughs were shared. Miranda could feel Jake was different. She felt like she was talking with an old friend from high school. (Fun Fact: Miranda and Jake went to rival high schools and Jake played football [rode the bench] and Miranda was on the Drill team who danced at half time.)&nbsp;After a couple of days, Jake finally got up the courage to ask Miranda on a date. It was soon and she was hesitant, but Jake made a bet with her over FaceTime that if he could spell her last name without looking, then she must go on a date with him.&nbsp;

Chapter 2: Boys, Brews, and Apex

The date was December 10th, 2020. Setting: Shoals Creek Tavern, Highland Village, Texas. Jake and Miranda’s first date went better than they thought. Jake was nervous and took this date seriously. He got a new belt, a haircut, and even brought flowers. The night was magical. They shared a delicious meal and enjoyed each other’s company. Even though they had early mornings the next day, the date went late into the night.&nbsp;

Chapter 3: The Last First Date

Miranda woke up the next day to go on a skiing trip, and Jake did not know if the 1st date would be followed by a 2nd. Over the next few days, texting was minimal, but they still made time to chat with each other. Miranda ended up having to come back early because she ended up in the ER with a torn meniscus and an inability to walk. It was heartbreaking because he did not like to see her hurt, but he was left with a choice. He could either stay and get through this challenging time with her or walk away and move on. There was no hesitation in Jake’s mind that he wanted to make this work. The second date was set for Tuesday, December 15th, 2020. It was simple ice cream, Christmas movies, and pizza date. This was the night Jake realized he wanted to be there for Miranda in sickness and in health.&nbsp;

Chapter 4: The True Test

Now here we are, almost 5 years later. We are surrounded by our friends and family who truly support and love the two of us together. It is now a common factor that if there is Jake, then Miranda is close by (vice a versa). The love we have for each other is apparent. We enjoy sharing laughs together, watching movies, being with friends, or cozied up on the couch with a book. Our ‘story’ would not be complete without each of you invited to witness us tie the knot. Who is ready to #SwipeRightforAlbright?
