Yesterday I got to marry my 2's partner and best friend! And I owe it all to Rocket League and a Discord server called MiddleAgeNoobs. Crazy right??!!! Well here's how it all went down.....
You know they say you can have love at first site, well on October 3rd 2018 I experienced Octane at first site, and damn was it the most amazing Octane I had ever seen! It was just a typical night hangin out with the fellow noobs in a private match in the MAN (MiddleAgeNoobs) server, and then Azzy jumped in and dazzled us all with his twirls and air dribbles, and it was on!! He even ended up changing his steam name to match mine, and we pretended to be husband and wife for the night, and damn was I smitten. I wish I could say that we fell in love that night and became a thing right then and there, but we all know that's not how life works :/
Incoming!....My apologies for this next part it is a bit pathetic on my part, but what can I say, I'm a girl who knows what she wants..... I then spent the next 6 months trying to get this amazing GC to talk to me, be my friend, know I exist, anything! But as we all know when interacting with someone online, you have to tread lightly, you know stranger danger and all that, so I had to keep my cool, and it's not as if we never talked or played together, but it was becoming more and more apparent to me that he thought I was just one of the boiis and wanted to be just friends.
And then in April he just disappeared......and I thought well ggs it was fun while it lasted.
Then in July I was on the hunt for people to join a tournament taking place, and on a whim I decided to contact Azzy with a casual "Hey nerd", naturally expecting nothing in return. However to my surprise I got a "what up" response, and I swear I was more hype and excited by that message then when I went to RLCS in Vegas and saw Cloud9 beat Dignitas!!
We then picked back up our casual friendship and pleasantries of friendly banter and occasional flirting. Now obviously this is only from my perspective, and I have no idea what he was thinking or feeling, but in September something changed I finally got the courage to tell him that I "liked liked" him. To my surprise he actually said he liked me too, Holy Cow! Then on October 14th 2019 I officially became the girlfriend of the sweaty GC RL player I had been crushing on for over a year <3 (we also have this date engraved inside our wedding bands)
Now we had to meet, and so he Nick (aka Azzy) took the rest of his vacation time off and booked a trip to come see me at the end of December for a week for new years eve and my birthday, which was at the beginning of January. Guess I should mention he is from BC Canada, and I lived in Southern California, typical. Imagine actually meeting someone and falling in love with them in your same zip code, calculated am I right!
The holidays dragged on and the day finally came where I got to pick him up from the airport, and from the moment of meeting and that first kiss I knew I had found my best friend. Life however had a different plan in mind and after getting to spend two amazing days together I wound up in the hospital with pancreatitis...Siiiick! I mean who doesn't want to spend New years and their birthday in the ER with someone they just met, he was totally gonna fall in love with me after the way I smelled not having showered for over a week right! Well I sure as hell had fallen head over heels in love with him, and could not believe the way he had stepped up and taken care of me and was just there for me. Overall I was in the hospital for 10 days with pancreatitis caused from gallstones and had to have my gallbladder removed, and I have no idea how I would have made it through that time without him. He spent all day with me at the hospital, only leaving when visitor hours ended and he had to, and kept me from going crazy and alone in pain. He even extended his trip and found a way to stay and help me recuperate after surgery, and that was it boiis and grills...I had found my 2s player for life!
He of course eventually had to return home and to work, but as soon he got home we made a plan for him to fly back out and we were going to drive back to Canada together. I work from home remotely, so job check. I was renting a room at the time and most of my stuff was in storage, so being able to pack up all my stuff and travel with just my essentials, check. Of course my whole family had fallen in love with him for being my hero while visiting, so families blessing to leave the country and run away with this guy I met online, check. I'm not sure if fate and destiny are actual a thing, but the universe was definitely on our side and on February 4th I drove out of California and into my new life.
So read this how you want...an oad to Rocket League and Discord....a sappy love story of how a girl gamer met a boy online and fell in love.....either way this story ends with "And they lived happily ever after in Beckwith park" <3
What a play!
