Our story began in JROTC, where we first crossed paths. At the time, we didn’t really know each other, but fate had plans. One day, Aileene noticed a guy sitting alone at a table and realized he was in her JROTC class. Something told her to go over and say hello. She introduced herself, and before long, they were talking easily. She invited him to join her and her friends at the table, and from that moment on, a connection began to grow. Not long after, we went on our first date roller skating, and everything just felt right. William later invited Aileene to Six Flags, making December 23 a day neither of us will ever forget. From there, things moved naturally. We realized how much we truly liked each other, and soon after, we started dating. That’s how our journey together began.
