There once was a Facebook page that will remain unnamed, where otherwise good people would go to post things that could not go on their regular feed. Things that are politically incorrect, grotesque, overly sexual, enraging, or graphic. That is where this love story begins.

Sean and Nicole were both fairly active members and started commenting on each other's posts in this moral desert. Eventually one of them sent a friend request. They started the dance of feeling each other out. Commenting here and there, but neither reaching out directly. That is, until Thursday, September 13th, 2018, when Sean reached out to Nicole. They spent the rest of the next two days texting back and forth, and decided they needed to meet.

Saturday September 15th, they met up at Shawnee Mission Park to go for a walk and see each other in person. Deep conversations were had, including some that could have ended the story before it really got its start, but a relationship has to be built on trust and honesty, and at least one of them (cough, Nicole) had a feeling that this was for the long haul.

They went on a few more dates, both falling pretty quickly. Hikes and dinner, bowling and doughnuts, seeing each other at Renfest, visiting the aquarium, etc. By the fifth date, Nicole knew. She called her mom afterwards and told her "Mom, this is the man I'm going to marry."

It just took a few years for her to convince Sean of that.
