In case you were ever wondering my origin story with my girlfriend Molly, I'm going to tell you.
In March 2012 I went to the Legend of Zelda Symphony of the Goddesses with a couple of friends and during the intermission we heard Groose's Theme. While wandering about the Orpheum Theatre, I looked down into the foyer and saw a blond girl wearing a green dress with a Triforce on it, and she was holding a Groose doll. This was significant, as I'd just been introduced to the "Groose's Theme Goes With Everything" meme, which has quite a few to choose from. (Also, unrelated, but the best Groose video ever)
Later on while browsing the Skyward Sword tag on Tumblr, I saw the same girl posting progress pictures of her Groose cosplay.
She posted that she'd be going to SakuraCon 2012 to sell her artwork, and I was going with my friends, so off I went!
While dressed as Saria from Ocarina of Time, I met Molly while she was dressed as Groose.
She had a towel in her pants for appropriate bulge, she tells me later.
With my friend Tyler as Link at my side, he held my arm while I managed to get Molly's phone number... Turns out she lived nearby! :D
We hung out all summer and it was glorious.
Then she went away to Japan and New Zealand for three months and I pined the entire time. ;_;
When she came back we casually discussed possibly maybe dating each other because hey, we kinda liked each other a lot. We decided to give it a go. :D
On March 17th, 2013, I gave her tickets to the Symphony of the Goddesses concert that would be playing in September. March 17th was the one year anniversary of the first time I ever saw her.
Now we're the couple that posts crap like this on each others' Facebook walls on Valentine's Day.
We've been together since February 2013, and next week we're moving for the third time into a new place together. We're hoping for the best for this place and are very excited about it, and I'm so glad we have each other to lean on during the nonsense of moving.
ANYWAY that's our geeky story. <3
