I was in college, sitting in my Government class while planning my wedding scheduled for 10/10/10. I was complaining to the girl sitting next to me that I couldn't find a pianist to play at the ceremony. She suggested someone she knew and gave me his contact information. I looked him up on Facebook, sent him a message, and ended up booking him to play at my wedding. He also helped me find a flute player and a violinist. He took care of it all. Throughout the process of making arrangements, we bonded. We continued to stay in touch after my wedding and became pretty close friends. My mother asked him for help tuning her cello once and afterwards told me that he was the kind of man I should have married. She put the idea in my head. One night, I had a dream he kissed me and I told him about it but he awkwardly brushed it off. In Spring of 2011, I went with him to pick out an engagement ring for his then girlfriend. He was engaged for a short period of time before breaking it off. That summer I was going through a divorce and he was really there for me. Our relationship grew stronger than ever before. Now I'm two months away from marrying my best friend, who was once the pianist at my wedding.
