August 2 of 22: Who would have guessed these two were destined to be blessed?

Monday night brought delight in friendship and community,

Who could have known it would spark such a unity?

A desk that couldn't conceal the growing desire,

Brief moments daily that fuel the fire.

God's timing is never late,

A department change feels like a checkmate.

Six months fly by, a tasting at Hai Hai,

Interest piqued, wondering how to comply.

Timing’s tricky, like rhyming too,

But tears? You won't see a few.

A date set in stone, Laotian vibes grown,

Pondering the future, together, not alone.

Dates with fine food, soccer games, deep talks,

Concerts, coffee, and long, leisurely walks.

Here we stand now, what once felt askew,

A wedding ahead, and the easiest "I do."

Through it all, with every beat and minute,

I will always say "I Love you, and mean it."
