Hey guys we, 22M/21F, just wanted to take a moment to share our moment with you all and hopefully give some insight on what made us work.

It all started with a streak of just... not really feeling it. I couldn't really find anyone that I just seemed to get and who got me back. And then there I was, during a long day at the Bean Factory, figuring I'd give it maybe one more go. And just when I least expected it, there was love at first message. "Hey, so do you have a moustache or not? Because searching for very attractive man has left me a bit confused and your nice voice doesn't tell me whether you have one or not ;)", she wrote, and I followed up with a Big Bang Theory joke. Now as of today, we're married and I could never picture myself with anyone else. She often tells me the same, too, which is nice.

But yeah, jokes, and commas, aside, which the majority of that was (though the quote was very real), we're both very much happy with how things turned out. The idea that had either of us done anything ever so slightly different that we could've never met is just such an insane thought to us. We've talked nearly 24/7 (video calling while sleeping, calling during work and school, etc.) since we first met and we really do feel confident that this is something we can make work until the end of time. It's been a long, fruitful journey for us and we wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

So, yeah, enough of us. We really do want to wish everyone out there the absolute best of luck in their journeys to find their own special someone. Success stories like ours do exist out there if you want one of your own. Just make sure that you're putting in the effort and doing your best to be true to yourself as well.

Thanks for reading guys.

As a bonus, I'll leave a pic of the two of us. The shirt I'm wearing is a present from her with my catchphrase "born 2 shit, forced 2 wipe" because she knows my stupid humor so well. Us!
