“Every relationship has a story but ours was pure fate. We both relocated our lives to Texas. I moved a few years before him, originally from Florida. He moved from California. At the end of 2004, I was working as a server at a restaurant when I turned around to go put an order in and noticed a cute guy standing at the jukebox. The restaurant regularly played country music so I noticed immediately when a song came on that I actually liked. I walked over and asked if I could get him anything as an excuse to talk to him. He noticed the tattoo on my arm and asked me what it said. I responded, "Oh, it's lyrics from an Indie band I love called Lydia, you wouldn't know them." His jaw nearly hit the floor. He held out his arm to show me his tattoo of the album cover from that same Lydia song. We both looked at each other in disbelief. People say opposites attract, but that wasn't the case here. I found the male version of myself who shares so many of my same interests. We were married this past weekend and of course, our first dance was to a song from our favorite band, Lydia.”
