He asked me to marry him and take his last name, and it was the easiest YES I have ever said.

The J & J Pandemic Romance

Covid brought us together. The two of us swiped right and from there emerged a beautiful romance in Clearwater Beach, FL.

On May 30th 2020 in the midst of uncertainty and fear, Their love story began at a beach, crystal clear. Two strangers, isolated, yet fate intertwined, In the chaos of a global pandemic's bind. Through masks and screens, they dared to salsa dance, In the chaos of this COVID pandemic's trance. Distance was measured not in travel miles, But in the longing of their happy smiles. She was a new banker to Tampa acting brave and strong, He, an electrician but, jammin' to his DJ songs. Their paths crossed online in a virtual space, Where pixels formed two swipes and a tender embrace. Through texts, messages and video calls, They shared beach, laughter, jet ski rides and all. Their bond grew stronger with each passing day, As they found solace in what they'd been longing to say. They dreamed of so many moments that they could share, Of holding hands, making love and breathing the Tampa air. But the world outside was filled with so much strife, And meeting our families in person seemed like a distant life. Yet, their love knew no bounds, As they navigated through the world's ups and downs. With patience and hope, they held on real tight, Believing love and Biden would conquer the night. Hand sanitizer replaced perfume, Yet love blossomed in the gloom. Six feet apart, yet hearts aligned, In the labyrinth of fear, they always shined. Hand in hand, they biked and rollerbladed the streets, No longer confined to virtual meets. For in the COVID darkness, love had shone, A beacon of love and light, they had never known. Their pandemic love story, a tale to tell, Of resilience, faith, and love's sweet spell. Through heart break and despair, God led them to find their way, And in each other's arms, they'd forever stay. Though the world may falter, love endures, In pandemic's grasp, it reassures. So let us raise a toast to chance, To the beauty of J&J's pandemic romance.
