February is a special month. Not only do we have Valentine’s Day, but I also get to celebrate my anniversary. My wife and I met here in Charlotte — we had our first date at Optimist Hall in 2020, had our second date at a Hornets game, and got married in 2024.
Now it’s your turn. I want to hear about every kind of relationship, your meet cute stories, the advice you got from a parent, or where you’ve learned to love yourself... we love love in all its forms.
