It was just a few days after my birthday, and my mother came to me saying "There is a nice gentleman I want you to meet"... we all know how that goes haha

My mother and Michael's older sister had been friends for a few years now. One day, the two got to talking about how they have two age-appropriate, well-behaved and well-learned young adults that would be perfect for each other. We all know being set up by family is not always the easiest thing to accept, but I am sooo happy that we decided to give it a shot.

Both of us had experienced long-distance relationships and swore off them, but we went along with the whole thing anyway. We connected via social media, Michael hoped in my DMs to introduce himself, speaking as the gentleman he is, and I was already charmed.

From that day on we talked every single day for the next 6 months. We got to know each other so deeply, our values, spirituality, career path and so many other things were in line.
