I used to refer to Megan as my pretend little sister. We were in honor choir together when I was in eighth grade and she was in seventh, and we got along really well. We hung out here and there in high school because a lot of my friends were a grade below me. I’ve always held a special place for her in my heart. So watching her become a wife and mother has been a real treat.
Before meeting her husband Jeremy, Megan Maldonado’s dating history was so sparse that her family actually thought she was a closeted lesbian.
“I never really saw any value in being in a relationship.”
This view didn’t change immediately when she met Jeremy, working at the same restaurant. They started hanging out thanks to some mutual friends from work. Once they discovered how much they had in common, they quickly became best friends. But still, pursuing a romantic relationship wasn’t on Megan’s mind. “I was actually on a bit of a mission to find him the perfect girl.”
