We were introduced by mutual friends who somehow managed to keep us apart until then, Alex and I hit it off instantly. Despite neither of us drinking alcohol, the location didn't matter as much as the easy conversation that flowed between us. We joked and laughed, and I wanted to stay there all night. It was one of those rare moments where you just know—this person is cool, and they're going to be important in your life.

May 2, 2023, Kai told me he scheduled an anniversary photoshoot. Little did I know, he had an amazing surprise. As we sat in the theater, watching a montage of photos from the previous four years, I knew. Through laughter and tears, I watched as our love story unfolded before my eyes, captured in the pictures and videos Kai had lovingly collected. My heart filled with love and gratitude for our time together. And then, as the final pictures faded, Kai took my hand, and asked, "will you marry me"? Crying, I said yes! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you.
