The moment our eyes met, we were interested in each other. The night we kissed, we were in love. From the first awkward pause in conversation, followed by "So, do you come here often?" we have made each other laugh, built each other up, and looked forward to building a life together.

On the anniversary of when we first met, we cuddled in bed and spoke of our love and appreciation for each other and the good changes we have brought to each others lives. After a touching moment and a lull in conversation, he asked me to grab something from his backpack. I brought it back to bed, and he opened the small paper pouch and showed me two matching rings. With diamonds from his family he asked me to accept his past, and with new gold he asked me to shape my life to his and build them both into something beautiful. 💛💛💛💛💛 Thank you to those of you than joined us in celebrating this new chapter in our lives!
