"I met the twin - Nick - for the first time, at my friend's dorm room. He was on a short leave from the Navy, visiting his brother. He seemed nice enough, but I didn't think that much of it. I saw him off and on throughout the years, including one fateful New Year's Eve party in 2013 when I jokingly told my friend I was single and needed a kiss if his brother was in town (he didn't pass on the message)."
"Everything changed in February. I was sent to Chicago for a work assignment during an internship I snagged for an airline. Another intern and I were helping with a nonprofit event, but we had one free evening in town. It was a Tuesday night in the middle of winter, and I was nervous to venture out in the city. So, I messaged my friend's twin."
A blurry snap taken secretly at Chick-fil-A and a joking message started the chain of events. She sent a joking text and photo about seeing a friend's twin, learning the friend actually had an identical twin who lived near Chicago, about 900 miles from her Texas hometown. She dated casually in college and wasn't seeking commitment. Months later she met the twin, Nick, during his Navy leave; their interactions were intermittent, including a New Year's Eve moment. A work internship sent her to Chicago, where Nick left his base to show them the city and buy deep-dish pizza. Their chemistry grew from that Chicago night, leading to a romantic relationship and eventual marriage.
