We like to think the “Invisible String” theory, is very real for us.
We met in April 2018 & started dating July 17th 2018. From the very beginning of our relationship we both knew something was different; we were different, together. It was easy, it came easy to us. It was like pieces of a puzzle. The string pulled us together more & more.
He grew up in piedmont on Nanicoke St & I grew up going to my Poppa’s in Piedmont, not too far away from each other.
In the last 6 years, we have been through so much to get. We have lived in 3 different houses together, each house with a ton of roommates, pets, & friends. We have held on together through job changes, a pandemic, the death of not only family members, but also miscarrying our child.
A while ago we sat down for dinner & just talked about our time in high school & our childhoods on a random night.
We came to find many things we didn’t realize until then. Things like,
We both knew we had each taken a German class instead of Spanish in high school, & you’d never guess what we picked for our “German names” Luca & Leia.
We had gathered little bits of things over the years that all made the Invisible String theory so more true.
We learned his mother is best friends with my late great uncle’s wife,
that same great uncle is Brandon’s brother’s god father,
Brandon & I shared a very close mutual friend, for many years, constantly missing each other. Until that friend introduced us.
He went to the same middle school as me, I was the last 6th grade class at Woodland & he was in the last 8th grade class before they tore it down. (Funny part is I had a crush on an “older boy” but never knew his name until YEARS later I was looking through a year book from then & realized that kid was B!!!)
We have been silently & invisibly tied to each other since the beginning & it only makes sense that we made it this far.
We are so excited to celebrate this next chapter of our story with you all. & we can’t wait to see everyone!!
