Once upon a time, on Halloween night in 2015, destiny brought together two strangers in the town of Pullman, WA. Daniel—dressed as Waldo—crossed paths with Michelle, who was dressed as Minnie Mouse. Both traveled there to celebrate with friends, unaware that this night would mark the beginning of something special.

As the night went on, the two of them found themselves at the same bar, surrounded by music too loud for conversation. Daniel and Michelle began passing notes back and forth on Daniel’s iPhone, sharing thoughts and laughter in silent conversation.

There was just one small problem—Michelle didn’t have a phone at the time. When the night came to an end, she offered Daniel the only way to keep in touch: her email address. Without hesitation, he took it, and what started as a chance meeting turned into months of exchanging emails.

Though life took them in different directions, their story wasn’t over. ln 2022, fate stepped in once more, bringing them back into each other’s lives. What had begun as a Halloween night full of laughter and notes on a phone turned into something real—Daniel and Michelle rekindled their connection and officially began their journey together as a couple. And so, their love story truly began—not just as a memory from the past, but as a future waiting to be written.
