Here we go. You ready for this?

The full moon, a campfire, and an unexpected love. These are the people who met at the Renfair.

So good. It all started in the Arizona desert beneath the full moon at a medieval reenactment event.

Hot. We both had friends that were part of this tight-knit community drawn to the magic of history and shared passions.

Our first conversation was around a campfire and we talked until the early hours of the

morning.

Finding common ground in Shakespeare movies and games.

That's a rare bird, you know?

You find somebody sitting around a campfire at a medieval red fair reenactment and

Shakespeare comes up and you're both all in the next night we walked and talked

until the sun came up and i remember feeling connected in an honest and vulnerable way though we met in

arizona we're both from the bay area yeah area and what began as a fun connection blossomed into a

whirlwind romance and whirlwind is the word for this.

Andrew ever the charmers had flowers to win over my roommates in a cheeky bid to cement his

place in my heart despite the naysayers on both sides saying it won't last.

We push forward.

Oops, hold on.

Oh, geez.

We push forward.

I convinced myself.

We were just having fun, especially since I was religious and he was an atheist.

I didn't see how that would ever work long term.
