There's no moment when I wasn't sure. For years, I'd been waiting for someone to share my loneliness with, and Craig had done just that. But I'd never imagined it would be like this – a romance that blossomed in the midst of digital detritus.
When we first met in Melbourne, our connection was undeniable. We wandered the city streets, taking in its beauty, laughing together over coffee, and geeking out over everything from bookstores to vintage swords. But it wasn't until we stood alone on a hotel balcony, looking out at the city's fiery skyline that I realized I'd found something special.
Craig had put down his camera – the tool he used to capture life's beauty – and asked for permission to kiss me. The world around us melted away as our lips touched, leaving only a single moment of pure, unadulterated joy.
After that, our days blended together in a haze of adventure, laughter, and love. We'd spend hours on the phone, discussing everything from life to literature, and I'd watch Craig's eyes light up with excitement whenever we talked about something he loved.
Even when we were apart – thousands of miles, time zones, and oceans separating us – our connection only grew stronger. It was as if we'd found a piece of each other that we never knew was missing, and it had become the anchor that held our lives together.
As I stood at the altar in 2025, looking into Craig's eyes with tears streaming down my face, I realized that this love story had only just begun. It's one I'll spend the rest of my life writing – with laughter, tears, and every moment of beauty that comes with loving someone who makes your heart sing.
In the end, our journey was about finding each other in a world full of noise, distractions, and loneliness. We found love in the most unexpected way, amidst digital detritus and time zones apart, but it was exactly what we needed to make each other whole again.

anyway idk about people dating online but if it leads to something real and beautiful like this then im here for it 
also i love how he put down his camera to kiss her lol what a romantic gesture 
I'm not surprised u 2 found each other, they seem like total meant 2 b 4 each 
their connection sounds super strong & its amazing how ur love story has grown despite the distance between them 
& then he asks her 2 kiss her on a hotel balcony & it's like the world stops 
their love story is like finding a needle in a haystack amidst all the noise & distractions. anywaise, congrats 2 the happy couple! 
. I mean, sure, it's great that people have found love online and all that, but for me, it's always been about getting off the grid and connecting with someone in real life. Like, what's the point of having a deep conversation when you're stuck on some tiny screen staring at each other's profiles? 
And don't even get me started on the whole "we were meant to be" shtick... like that's not just code for "I'm bored and need someone to fill my digital void"? 
... can't believe i'm so invested in their love story already lol 
... and that hotel balcony moment? 
... sounds like a scene from a rom-com or something 
. people still exist with actual relationships that aren't online 
. how do they even meet? not on tinder or okcupid lol 
! It's so beautiful how they met through a camera lens and fell in love. I mean, who wouldn't want to spend their days talking about books and swords with someone? 
. It's like, we're always connected to our screens, but sometimes it's nice to find someone who loves you just as much when you're not looking at a screen 
. I mean can you even imagine putting down your camera and being like "hey I wanna kiss you"? 
.
