We met in a truly unconventional way; I was not expecting to truly meet my soulmate when I found Lynnea. It started out as a simple tap on a dumb app and astonishingly a sneeze on her end. Our first date was so far out of my realm of comfortability, but I was excited to try something new. Little known to me and her that was going to just be the tip of the "iceberg" in trying new and different things. From the very start we were there for each other big or small we always try to be there in one way or another. She has brought out the best in me and shown me the true feeling of being loved and respected as an equal in a healthy relationship. There is never a dull moment when we are together, whether it's laughing uncontrollably for no reason or having random zoomies right before bed. She truly makes this uphill battle we call life a little better! She will always be my Deer.

Yes, you read Beringer's side correctly, my sneezing caused us to be here today. I was living with Eddi my MOH and we were swiping through one of my dating profiles. I was deciding on if I would "like" Beringer or not and ended up sneezing and swiping to "like" him. It was an instant match, and we started talking right away. We talked for two weeks before our first date, he wanted to make sure our date was on a payday so he could cover the date. We went to a dueling piano bar, something new for both of us, and we ended up talking all night shutting the bar down then talking at our cars for another hour. My plan of not wanting something serious went right out the window after that night, but I was still scared of commitment. When things would get too good, I would try and run, or I would freeze like a deer in headlights which earned me my pet name of 'Deer'. Beringer has been amazing through everything. I didn't know that a simple sneeze would bring me a best friend, a confidant, a comedian, an adventurer, and a life partner.
