I never get to share the story of our relationship because 99% of our friends lived it with us. So here it goes. We knew we were meant to be together before we ever kissed.

Come to think of it, we decided to be in a serious relationship before we ever kissed.

No we’re not weird “no hand holding” religious. We’re not even religious.

My partner (a term we both use because it best fits our commitment and I hate fiancé) and I met at work and became inseparable friends very quickly. We were both working far from home so those bonds build quickly.

At some point, I think we both started realizing we wanted more. I realized it first of course.

I left my relationship and when he was a little too slow to recognize and acknowledge his feelings for me I told him he was stupid cause if you can date your best friend, you should 🤣

Everyone in our office hated the will they won’t they tension over the next few days. They all found ways to tell him he was being ridiculous. (Seriously everyone knew!)

Then I got a text before I was about to go to a party with another guy. It just said “please don’t go. I am ready now”

Of course I was bitter and I went but made it clear nothing would happen.

The next day we talked and I think that’s when we knew we’d get married.

4 years later... still going strong. We’ve had big big life changes. Great highs and lows. Lost 2 pregnancies. Working on conceiving again.

Still can’t find time or energy to plan a wedding that will satisfy my family’s needs for an event.

At this point the wedding is just about the party, we made our commitment 4 years ago before we even kissed.
