The first time I met her, it was love at first sight. It wasn’t anything that she said or did; just the way she looked and how our eyes locked. The second time we met, I knew for sure that this girl was “the one.” That’s when I found out her name: Sarah.
We had so much in common from the start: We both wanted to go to school for psychology, we loved music festivals, enjoyed hiking on weekends, and both of us were dog owners (although my pup is a little bit bigger than hers). After two years together and countless adventures under our belt – including an amazing trip abroad – I proposed with a ring on top of the Eiffel Tower. And to my absolute delight, she said yes!
It sounds like a cliché when I say “she’s my better half,” but it really sums up how happy she makes me. I love the way her voice rings through our apartment as we cook dinner together and laugh at silly things on TV (although her taste in reality shows is questionable), and most of all, I adore how much Sarah loves to dance with me while listening to music.
I’ve never been so excited for anything like this before – not even when I finally got accepted into grad school or landed that awesome job offer last year. As I get ready to marry my best friend and partner-in-crime next month, there are some days where it feels unreal: How did such an amazing and thoughtful woman end up being my fiancée?
I’m still not sure how I got so lucky, but I don’t ever want to take for granted all the love she gives me. It’s been such an amazing journey so far and it will only get better from here on out! __
David gets married next month in a wedding that he has always wanted since he was little. They met at college when they were 19 years old, right before her birthday party where she turned 20-years-old. From then on they became inseparable friends with benefits which eventually grew into something more as David proposed during their first year of grad school together — after graduating from undergrad together back home in America. He felt like he wasn’t complete until he met her and was ready to spend the rest of his life with her.
Then when they got engaged, Sarah knew it would be a challenge for them because she had always anticipated being married at 27-years-old—which is what David did too before coming into their lives. But after talking about it and looking up wedding statistics online, they discovered that people who marry later in their life are more likely to have longer marriages than someone who gets married younger. It’s also better since now both parties will have established careers which makes everything easier financially (not having just one person bringing all the money in). So like any good couple should do — even if this isn’t an ideal situation exactly — we’ll make it work.
d the rest of his life with her.

The success
David’s life was tedious and mundane.
He went to work, came home, ate dinner, watched TV–the same routine every day of his dreadfully boring existence. He had never felt happier than when he moved away from the suburbs with their cookie-cutter houses and back into the city where things were exciting and different all around him. Now that he lived nearby one of those old warehouse districts turned trendy artist lofts downtown near a bunch of artsy shops in an up-and-coming neighborhood full of young people just like himself who liked bars or restaurants or coffee shops close by for socializing on weekends, David couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.
It made for some great date nights as well: walkable distances to fun places.
He could never have imagined how much his life would change when he met Sarah.
David was out with some friends from work at a new bar they’d discovered on a recent outing, having such a good time that it wasn’t until the next morning–after an hour-long walk in the sunshine and coffee with Sarah to wake up properly–that David realized she had been talking about meeting him for months without any response or even recognition of her efforts to reach out. He checked his email and found messages dating back as far as two years ago! It was so charming that she wanted to get together but not pushy either; just really sweetly letting him know how eager she was to meet someone like himself.
“That’s really kind of you to be so patient,” David told her. “I’m glad I finally got in touch.”

He checked his email and found messages dating back as far as two years ago! It was so embarrassing.
“I’m sorry, I don’t know what happened,” he said when she remarked on the fact that he had been silent for so long. “I wasn’t ignoring you or anything like that.” He felt terrible about it, because this was someone who clearly wanted to meet him and David never even knew! To make up for his mistake, he promised himself that there would be no more procrastinating or letting things slip through the cracks–he didn’t want to risk losing her interest again.

She had made friends with some of them too over this time but none were quite as compelling as meeting a person like herself – which is why after they left the bar, she was eager to get on her phone and send a message.

He had liked her too, and it was really great to meet someone like himself–even if they lived on opposite coasts.
