We first met at a graduation dinner for a mutual friend, where a seating mix-up brought us together right next to each other. As the evening unfolded, our conversation flowed effortlessly, revealing a connection that felt both special and profound. Throughout the weekend, surrounded by friends, we began to learn more about each other, our initial shyness gradually giving way to shared laughter and meaningful moments. On that memorable last night, we found the courage to confess our feelings for one another. Since then, we haven’t gone a single day without talking. We’ve become each other’s closest companions, excited for the future that awaits us. While we understand that marriage comes with its challenges, we are confident that with Jehovah’s principles guiding us, we can navigate whatever life brings our way, united and strong.
