OUR LOVE STORY
How we met
Who knew six minutes could change your life?
On August 9th, 2013, in the heart of downtown Portland, beneath the evening lights, James and Sara's paths crossed in the most serendipitous way. James, hesitant about attending a local speed dating event & was on the verge of canceling his friend’s invitation but an inexplicable twist of fate nudged him to go.
Meanwhile, Sara was delighted to receive an unexpected email informing her she had won free tickets to the event. Intrigued by the promise of an amusing evening rather than a serious quest for love, she left work early, ready to embrace whatever the night had in store.
Upon arrival, the place buzzed with hopeful singles, all searching for that special someone. James navigated through his first few speed dates with polite conversation, but nothing sparked a genuine connection. Sara, meanwhile, found herself entertained by the variety of personalities she encountered, collecting stories to share with her friends later.
It took 9 mini dates before James and Sara would meet, but as soon as their six minutes together began, the conversation and laughter flowed effortlessly. By the time the bell rang, signaling the end of their brief interaction, it felt as though time had flown by.
Fast forward to
almost eleven years later, and James and Sara's connection has only deepened. Their conversations still come easily, laughter is ever-present, and the minutes still feel like seconds.
Days and years pass too quickly, but their love continues to grow stronger with each passing moment. Their spontaneous encounter at a speed dating event turned into a beautiful journey of love, proving that sometimes, it only takes six minutes to change your life forever..
