Story
Vanessa: We met each other through an app (believe it or not!) set up by our closest friends. Nasser sent the first message on December 31st of 2017, and I replied January 2nd of 2018 (He always says I made him wait a year)! We set a date for our first date, and the rest was history. We believe that God led us to each other, and it was love at first date! No pretense, no awkwardness, just magic. You can say, I was 100% real from day 1 and fell asleep at the movies after my second glass of wine (I'm a lightweight and notorious for sleeping at the movies). On the second date, I accidentally spilled miso soup all over him (I was quite mortified), and he graciously mopped up the mess with napkins and made light of the situation. Not to mention, I kept bringing my cousin or my bestfriend to subsequent dates and apparently made him think I was friend-zoning him (In reality, I just could not wait to introduce him to people closest to me)! All of that led to where we are now. Husband and wife... about to have a new addition to our little family.
Nasser: I made the first move and messaged her, but it took her the very next year to reply. Granted, I only messaged her the end of December and she messaged me in January, but it's still a year. We met up at the Yard House at Memorial City. I got there 15 minutes early, and of course, she was 15 minutes late! I got through drinking one glass of wine before she even got there. It was the start of something special.
