Our Wedding

The year was 2018, both Quinton and Octavia had been swiping through Tinder for a while trying to find matches. When a few weeks before Octavia’s birthday she had matched with this fine islander boy and of course wanted to meet up. The date was November 9 and she had drove all the way up to Cedar to meet this boy. She was so nervous but continued to the door anyways. She knocked and answered this long curly headed boy. She was smitten. He asked her to come in and to her surprise another boy was there. She began to look around and noticed the lack of organization and cleanliness to this bachelor pad nonetheless she decided to stay. As she got to know this boy she knew she wanted to meet up again. It had been a while so Octavia decided to message Quinton. “Hey I really enjoyed our time together let’s meet up again.” Days had past an no response. A bit salty, however that didn’t stop her from continuing to try to find her match. The next day he had responded and apologized but said he’d love to meet up again. Octavia being sympathetic agreed. Octavia once again drove all the way up to cedar to meet this boy and this time we drove up the mountain. It was cold but such a beautiful scene. As they talked Octavia kept thinking how amazing this guy is and would love to meet him more. Again this date ended and we went on our way. Once more it had been a while since she had gotten a message from him. She started to think she did something wrong. So she messaged him. “Hey I had a really great time let’s meet up again, how about you come to me?”Nothing… For days. She decided he wasn’t worth her time. Her still having a sour taste in her mouth, he had finally messaged back. “Hey I’m so sorry but I don’t have a car how about you come up here. My birthday is coming up.” She furiusly waited a day to respond, but still being the person she is agreed and even decided to bring him a little birthday treat. (Octavia’s family had done this treat swap from around the world and got a package from UK.) She had brought him some yummy treats from UK for his birthday. We talked and talked but nothing of his life style . Little did I know that he was actually in some trouble and had been crashing at his buddies place this whole time. Octavia asked if he’d like to meet up again sometime soon. He said of course. So the next time she came up he moved to a different location, got a job and had been doing really good. Truly two different people with two completely different walks of life. While today it gets hard having another one in the equation we still try to understand each other and our differences but know we will always have each other’s backs.
