My best friend Wyatt took on the role of matchmaker long before we ever went on our first date, actually introducing us almost a full year before that moment. We were both quite intrigued by one another from the get-go, so we kept each other firmly on the radar by incessantly pestering Wyatt for any and all updates.

After what felt like ages of this back-and-forth, Wyatt finally invited Justin to join my friend group for a brewery outing, which turned out to be perfectly timed. We were both single, and the setting was relaxed and social—the ideal conditions for sparking a connection. The chemistry was undeniable from the moment we met, and it didn’t take long for us to realize how well we clicked. Since that day, we’ve been practically inseparable, with each day only deepening our bond.
