On May 18, 2018 , I met my sweet boyfriend.

It was by very lucky chance that the two of us were in the same place at the same time. If our paths hadn't crossed that night then, we probably would never have spoken to each other, as neither of us are the most extroverted individuals.

Under Lucky Stars created a beautiful memorabilia of a beautiful night. We later discovered that the name we both wanted to give our daughter is the same name as a constellation that happened to be front and center of the sky on that lucky night.

On May 31st,2018 11 pm, I sat at the fountain while I got a message from my maybe-date confirming he was headed my way. It was the last day for him at his workplace and he had been at his going-away party which had left him quite drunk. But he came to see me anyway.

I told him I might decide to leave if I felt like it and he told me that was alright, we could meet any other day as well. But, I waited.. With the sound of the water at the fountain and looking up at the stars now and then trying to find Orion's Belt which was the only star formation I was aware of, I decided to stay to wait and meet him in person.

I had only seen a profile picture of him online but I recognised him when I spotted him walking towards me with his bouncy excited walk, that I have since become accustomed to. It was 11.30, I remember because I checked.

He was only tipsy for the 11 beers he had already drunk at his party, coz he is Irish. We went to get a beer and we talked and talked. He walked me back to my place which was 4km away after we decided to not get a taxi. All the way we talked some more and I knew I was falling for him. He was a huge nerd just like me. It was a full moon night and it was a beautiful night sky and we walked hand in hand reaching my place only around 4.30 am. He waited for me to get in the door, gentleman that he is.

I realised I really liked this guy with his funny gait and here we are a year later celebrating our one year anniversary.

It was the night of our first real date!

We had been friends for about 13 years, but never actually went out on a date. She told me that if I wanted her to take me seriously, it was time I took her on a proper date. It was the first Blues on the Green in Austin, a free community outdoor concert. A fun Latin funk bad was playing so I decided to take her to that.

I prepared an assortment of items for us from homemade salads and dressing to champagne in a can, you know the fancy kind. I brought a blanket for us, ready to have our picnic first date. As the band played and the night went on, we had a great time. A random group of people at one point commented on us being a cute couple. That kind of began our whole relationship.

I bought her this Under Lucky Stars picture with date on Valentine's Day of this past year. She was overcome with emotions and said it was the most thoughtful gift she had ever received. She is worth every last bit of thought and effort to get the date and everything.

She and I are now engaged, and we plan to put this up in our new home together. We also plan to get one from our wedding night and then one for when our first child is born.

Asheville, July 29, 2017 at 12:30 was the day and time I met my future husband.

We were both working at the Asheville Spartan Race. He had been working there for the full week before but I had just arrived the day before the race. I was helping my boss at the volunteer tent when my now man, Chris, came up to get a meal ticket. My boss asked him if he would take me in his truck to see the course. He jumped at the chance and completely forgot about his lunch.

What was suppose to be an hour of seeing the course turned into us spending the entire day together working and most of the next day too. We have talked everyday from that point on, even though we lived in different states.

One year later, we went back and run the race together and got to spend our one year of knowing each other in the same spot that we first met.

I work in a dental office. We planned a patient appreciation night at the local semi-pro baseball stadium on Sept 15 2016.

At the same time I had had my eye on a certain man that was a patient in our office, but could never find the time to talk personally with him. The day of the baseball game happened to be his birthday and he decided to come to the free game all by himself. My seat happened to be behind his and we started talking during the game. Eventually I moved down to sit with him.

The next week he came into our office for an appointment and asked me for my phone number to call and set up a date. Now, three years later we will be married on Oct 5.! So that time and date was when I connected with my future husband!

EL 13 de Mayo fue el día que decidí dejar mis miedos de lado. Fue el día que deje de ser su amiga y que decidí ser su pareja. Han pasado 5 años desde ese entonces.

Tanto para el como para mi, los días 13 no son de mala suerte, al contrario, son los mejores días del mes <3

Après quelques discussions sur internet sur un site de rencontre, je me suis pointé chez lui vers 10h du soir, avec une bouteille de vin pour voir, à partir du toit, les feux d'artifices de la Fête du Canada. Dans ka chanson d'Arthur H, Confessions Nocturnes, ça dit : "tu es arrivée, vers 10h du soir, avec ta robe rouge et du jus d'anana". On s'est un peu approprié cette phrase qui se collait bien à notre rencontre.

Nous sommes ensemble depuis ce temps, malgré les hauts et les bas de la vie. Nous avons une magnifique fille de maintenant 11 ans.

J'offre cette carte du ciel à mon beau brun pour notre anniversaire le 1er juillet.

Abdulrazzak and I have known each other since 2010 in school. Although we were never been close friends we were always nice to each other and we had so many common friends.

In 2011, the Syrian revolution started and by 2013 the Syrian regime started to bombard our city brutally. Everyone I knew was imprisoned, killed, or had left the city.

During 2013 we were talking a little bit just to be sure that we were still alive.

In 2014, my family as well as his family decided to leave Syria and settle down in Turkey because no one could support to live in a city ruled by ISIS. I met him once or twice in Turkey but we weren't even best friends at that point.

In 2015 he decided to move to Germany in order to study and start a new life there, that's when we started chating and know each other more.

One year later my family moved to France but I was so busy learning the new language so we stopped talking for two years.

Finally, last year in 2018 he started to call me and we spent hours and hours talking, laughing and thinking about our homes in Syria. Later in September, he told me that he loved me and he had been waiting for months to tell me but we couldn't meet until Christmas vacation. So it was at Nancy, France on the 21st of December, 2018, at 8:10pm where he came to see me for the first time after a long journey of 7 hours from Germany to France. I offerd him this beautiful star chart for his birthday and he really liked it .

On January 4, 2019, my ex-husband who was a police officer (a great police officer), was working a traffic detail and was struck in the roadway by a pickup truck. His injuries were horrific but he was a fighter and spent the next three days in ICU. On the third day the children and I had the worst meeting possible and were told there was nothing they could do as his injuries were far to great to recovery from. On January 7, 2019, we made the final decision and he passed away at 8:10pm. This is something no child or anyone should have to go through and it should be a constant reminder to PLEASE, PLEASE SLOW DOWN WHEN YOU SEE BLUE/RED LIGHTS AND PAY ATTENTION WHEN DRIVING.
