A Rom-Com Adventure: A Love Story Like No Other 💕
Tales of Grand Gestures A Real-life Epic Date That Surpassed Romantic Comedy Movies
I thought grand gestures were only in movies until I met the guy who took me on an epic date.
“Once upon a time, in a land not too far away, there lived a girl who could never quite find her fairytale romance. Oh, how she longed for her life to resemble the heartwarming stories she watched on the big screen! But alas, her twenties and early thirties were filled with an endless parade of”let’s meet up for drinks” with emotionally unavailable man-children. Cue the comedic background music!”

“I was left wondering, where were my grand gestures? My epic swoon-worthy dates? Was love nothing more than a popcorn-fueled fantasy? Just as I was about to give up hope, like a knight in shining armor (or rather, a guy in jeans and a t-shirt), Justin entered the scene, ready to rewrite the script of my life.”
🎬🎉
“After a chance encounter at a beach birthday party, Justin invited me on a date that he promised would be ‘full of adventures.’ And boy, did he deliver! Little did he know, I had a weakness for puzzles and riddles, and a secret love for ‘The Amazing Race.’ But that’s not all. He had discovered that my favorite childhood movie was a hidden gem called ‘Midnight Madness’ — a film about an all-night scavenger hunt across Los Angeles. It was like he had unlocked the vault to my heart!”

“The excitement began with a drive from my place in North Hollywood to Santa Monica. As we cruised down the highway, a mix CD he made for the occasion filled the car with romantic tunes. Our first stop was Bay Cities, a local sandwich shop known for their mouthwatering creations. I devoured the best caprese sandwich of my life, and thus began our epic journey.”

“From the Santa Monica Pier to the bustling streets of Downtown LA, clues led us to various destinations. We laughed, we played arcade games, and we indulged in delicious snacks along the way. Diddy Riese amazed us with their build-your-own ice cream sandwiches, where we delved into chocolate chip heaven. As we sampled Japanese whiskies, our comments intertwined with the pages of ‘101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die,’ a gift that warmed my heart like a cozy cashmere sweater.”

“But the adventure didn’t end there. We made our way to a local spot for manicures and pedicures, pampering ourselves in the name of love. As the day turned to evening, we found ourselves at Dodger Stadium, eagerly solving word puzzles that led us to an unforgettable night: a live concert by none other than Sir Paul McCartney. The stadium erupted with music, laughter, and the delectable aroma of Dodger Dogs. And there, amidst the melodies and the fireworks, we knew our love story was just beginning.”

“Fast forward nine years, and Justin, now my loving husband, continues to surprise me and our 6-year-old bundle of joy. Our Paul McCartney poster proudly hangs above the mantle, a reminder of our incredible rom-com adventure. Life may not always be a scripted romance, but with love, laughter, and the occasional scavenger hunt, it can be even better.”
