During freshman year of college, a boy's photo and phone number ended up on a flyer, a joke from his roommate to get girls to text him. This joke led to an unusual, but wonderful adventure. A girl downstairs saw the flyer and decided to entertain him by sending anonymous messages. What started as a joke turned into a lively exchange of banter and shared musical interests, though the boy had no idea who was behind the messages.

As they continued to text, the girl developed feelings for the boy. When her identity was finally revealed, instead of causing awkwardness, it led to a deep friendship. Though they were initially hesitant to risk their bond, fate intervened. When Macey visited Matthew in Kansas for the first time, their connection grew stronger, leading to a long-distance romance from 2020 to 2022.

Despite the challenges of being in different cities and time zones, their relationship eventually thrived. By 2023, they were inseparable, and by the end of the year, they got engaged. From a joke to a friendship, and finally to a love that overcame distance, their story is a testament to the unpredictable nature of relationships, and the power of love over convenience.
