Love in the time of covid. We each stepped outside our comfort zones and into the world of online dating. There was instant chemistry and camaraderie, which eventually grew into over-the-top adoration.

Her Story:

I thought I didn't want anything serious. Then Mikael walked into my life. I've never met another person like him. His kindness and sincerity have actually changed me at my core. I'm amazed at how freeing it is to be able to trust someone with my whole heart, and how it exponentially increases my ability to love. Mikael has helped me to *almost* become a nice person in the mornings, and I have helped Mikael to *almost* be comfortable with a lazy afternoon. In just three years we have developed our own language, our inside jokes and I can honestly say I've never felt closer to anyone else. We come together to help each other through day-to-day frustrations as well as more harrowing times, and we come together to celebrate little wins, with just as much gusto as big achievements. Now we want to come together with all of you to celebrate US!

His Story:

It was a time of transition for both of us. I was trying my best to juggle kids homeschooling during COVID with my busy job. Frankly, a relationship was not foremost on my mind. But fate had it different; after meeting at a late summer, impromptu bonfire, we soon found ourselves spending every weekend together, then every other week ... it didn't take long for us to become inseparable.

Over the next three years we travelled together, went to concerts together, and binge watched TV shows together. Charyl was the one who made me really feel at home in the Seattle area, but mostly I found my home with Charyl. I can't imagine doing any of it with someone other than you Charyl. And all the while, we continue to have so much fun!
