Romi and Christie's love story started all because of a spider...

On his day off, Romi woke up to a spider hanging above his head and decided to record it and post it on his IG story. Christie, who's terribly scared and disgusted by spiders, replied to his story complaining and said, "OMFG I don't do spiders omfggggg why'd you post this holy shiieeeetttt." Which Romi replied trying to act all cool, " 😏 killed it tho."

Though the two never meant for it to continue, the conversation did. After a few laughs, small talk, and catching up on life, Romi felt a spark in their friendship and hoped for things to turn into something more. Christie on the other hand wasn't looking for anything, but she felt so comfortable talking to this kid, which was so strange for her. She definitely had her guard up but Romi was very persistent in engaging conversation and making his way to Christie's heart hihihihi After all, they had been friends from waaaay back - but this time, things were different.

Long story short, Romi's consistency and his genuine care for Christie slowly but surely opened her heart up to him. Soon enough, Romi planned a trip to visit New Jersey, specifically to ask Christie to be his girlfriend -- but his plan changed when they were on FaceTime one night and it was crystal clear that they both wanted to be with each other. So... yes, he asked her out through FaceTime hehehe

A week into the relationship, Romi was the first to say, "I love you," and Christie wholeheartedly said it right back. It's true what they say, when you know you know...
