Holiday Meet-Cute

 

The seemingly inconspicuous moments of our lives are often the ones changing the trajectory of our future in those monumental kind of ways. 

This photo was taken the moment after I was formally introduced to my future husband. In fact, he was the one who taking the photo on my blue plastic 35 mm camera. His sister requested that he capture our friendship reunion at a holiday event in Indianapolis. 

The image is now part of our holiday decor, as a Christmas memory of our meet-cute. The moment was a quiet exchange of names and formalities - nothing disastrous, funny, or a kind of love-at-first-sight. It was, however, the beginning of our journey and I love that we have it captured on film...even if he isn't the one in the photo.
