We met on a dating app. (Insert eye roll). Anyone who has been brave or crazy enough to create a profile knows the "interesting folks" you come across. We were both ready to delete our profiles and said to ourselves there was something interesting about each other, and we wanted to try reaching out after a few couple sentence conversations that we previously had. We eventually exchanged numbers so we could text offline. We can honestly say we were cautiously optimistic about the whole situation based on past negative experiences with dating apps, including catfishing and mismatched expectations and overall bad meet and greets. We exchanged texts and set up a time (6pm to be exact) to talk on the phone. Long story, short we talked for 6 hours straight each day after work and texted all day during work hours.
Fast forward to a year later, we can still talk for hours on end and text all day long and still get excited to see each other after a long day apart. In this small amount of time, our love grew more than the Grinch's ❤️! Our journey is not typical. We took plenty of risks and put a lot of faith in each other and an unknown future, but it's our journey, and it's led us to decide on forever ❤️!
We are planning our wedding!
