meet cute (plural meet cutes) (narratology, informal) A situation in a film, television series, etc., in which a potential romantic couple meet for the first time in a way that is considered adorable, amusing, or cute<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

How about this one? He was a knight, she was a server (a “wench”) at Toronto Castle Medieval Times.<\/p>\n

“Contrary to what most people assume, the whole Knight thing was never part of the attraction because I did not officially meet him until March 2022, and at that point I thought he was a Stable hand or Squire\u2026 or the poop guy.”<\/p>\n

Taylor was in the changing room one night when she heard a man singing a number from Phantom of the Opera and went to investigate. No one was there, but her curiosity peaked. A week later, the same thing happened, and she finds Matthew happily trotting around and singing to himself on his way to go backstage. Matthew blushed and introduced himself. A few days later, she sent a video of Phantom to that cute guy at work who might appreciate it. The texting began, fireworks sparked, and a week later they met up in person to go to a zoo, and the rest is history!<\/p>\n

The whole story reminds me of how Buddy and Jovie met on Elf<\/em> and I’m obsessed. *Almost* as obsessed as I am with their photos!!<\/p>\n

This was one of Nate’s solo weddings and our second shooter Angelika helped out for two hours. The photos are some of my allllll time favorites.

Matthew had never been to Disney, and Taylor hadn’t visited in over 12 years!! <3<\/p>\n

Setting up the shot…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

… Ta daaa! <3<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Every now and then brides are worried their grooms won’t be emotional at the ceremony if they do a first look. But then… <3<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Taylor and Matt’s ceremony was at Paradise Cove<\/a>. We went years without a wedding here and this month, we had two in two days! Lucky us. :)<\/p>\n
