Lucy 💚 Aidan
When it comes to Lucy and Aidan, the universe is playing the long game. They attended the same preschool, there are childhood photos of them sitting beside each other, family photos where one appears quietly in the background of the other’s life, they grew up around the same small communities, attended the same schools, played the same sports, and somehow life just kept nudging them back towards each other.
They dated in high school and Aidan met Lucy’s mum for the first time during that time, boldly introducing himself to Patricia after their Tuesday night mixed netball game. Somewhere around that time, Lucy also learnt one of Patricia’s golden rules for life: “Never date a boy twice.” Though Lucy would remind her, “Yeah, but you dated Dad twice,” she would simply reply, “Yes, but that’s different.” and eventually Lucy and Aidan went their separate ways and spent a few years working on themselves and their careers.
Then came Christmas of 2019. Aidan decided to stick around a little longer than usual, Lucy tried very hard not to fall for him again, and somewhere in the middle of all of that... their unofficial matchmaker, George, decided enough was enough. He wanted the family back together and subtle encouragement wasn’t really his style. Aidan invited Lucy on a trip to Brisbane. Lucy wasn’t convinced... but George again gave the final nudge. For Aidan, everything hinged on that plane ticket and he admits that if she’d said no, he was ready to quit his job, buy a one-way ticket to Canada, and disappear forever. When Lucy was getting ready to head to Brisbane with Aidan, she said to her mum, “But you always say never date a boy twice.” And without missing a beat, Patricia simply said, “Yes… but Aidan is different.” 🥰
