Michael and I used to catch each others eye years ago when we both worked for different companies in the same office building. Though he’ll tell you he tried (he didn’t), not a word was spoken to one another…just shy smiles when we’d pass each other in the lobby or the building’s gym. I had even told one of my best friends about this super sweet looking guy who would always flash me the sweetest little smile. But then my company moved and we never saw each other again. UNTIL Years later, that handsome face graced my phone screen on the Hinge App that I was so close to deleting off my phone the same night. I knew that face immediately. We chatted for the first two weeks while he was away at Army Training, then planned our first date for as soon as he got home. The first date was lovely, but the first kiss at the end of that first date was magical. There was something so special in that kiss, and every single kiss since then. Through the months that followed, we became best friends and grew the love we had both prayed we’d find some day. An exciting and fulfilling, yet safe and secure kind of love. 551 nights after that first kiss, Michael asked me to marry him on the boardwalk near the building we used to pass each other with a smile in, with no idea we were passing our soulmate all along. We can’t wait to share our special day with you!🤍
