We met at a coffee shop in early October. Alex often says it wasn't love at first sight, more "there you are, I've been looking for you." Bethany made him wait a few months before committing. Finally, at someone's wedding, they got tired of being asked "how long have you been together?" Bethany didn't want to answer, so she drank wine until Alex answered "a few months". "So it's official then?", she said. "Guess so," he said. And the rest was history. In five years, we've graduated college, started our careers, bought a home, and adopted two kittens. We've grown up together. And now it's time to grow old together.
