Every great love story starts with a little bit of fate… and in our case, two very determined women.It all began when Suzy’s aunt and Mark’s mom found themselves chatting about life, family, and, eventually, us. They compared notes, realized we might just be perfect for each other, and decided the universe could use a tiny nudge.

One enthusiastic conversation later, they became full-time matchmakers on a mission.At first, we laughed it off. A setup? Really? But they were persistent, and thankfully, they were right. What started as a “just give it a try” turned into a first conversation that neither of us wanted to end… then a first date we both secretly hoped would lead to a second… and before long, something we couldn’t imagine living without.

Looking back, we’re pretty sure our families saw the spark before we did. We’re forever grateful for the gentle plotting of an aunt and a mom who believed in the magic of a good match. And now, here we are—proving them right.
