In the late autumn of 2017, a chance encounter set the stage for a love story that would unfold in the heart of Downtown Phoenix. The story began when Will, with a twinkle in his eye, invited Mattie to join him for salsa dancing at The Duce on a crisp November evening.

Mattie, ever the skeptic, brought along her good friend Patrick, convinced that this couldn't possibly be a date. Little did she know that this dance would set the wheels in motion for something beautiful.

As the night progressed, the trio found themselves at Hanny's, savoring grilled cheese sandwiches and sharing laughter. Money was tight, but the moments were rich with connection. The night's adventures continued with milkshakes at In-N-Out, conversations flowing as easily as the sweet treats.

As the hours waned, Patrick made his gracious exit, leaving Will and Mattie to discover the unique bond that had formed between them. With the city lights illuminating their way, they cruised through Tempe in Will's black mustang, the rhythm of Taylor Swift's "Reputation" album echoing their newfound connection.

The hours melted away as they talked, laughed, and explored the night. Amidst the quiet moments and shared stories, it became evident that something extraordinary was unfolding.

The journey led them to the tranquil campus of ASU, where their conversation continued into the early hours of the morning. As dawn broke, they found themselves facing a new day, the promise of something special lingering in the air.

Their story didn't end there. A second date swiftly followed, and as the days turned into years, their connection deepened. From shared adventures to academic achievements, their bond grew stronger, marked by laughter, companionship, and the warmth of love.

As they walked together through the chapters of their story, with the city lights as witnesses and the stars as their guide, Will and Mattie discovered that what began on a November night was destined to become a lifelong journey of love, partnership, and shared dreams.
