Our journey began with a simple Facebook friend request back in 2014. We were just two young students at the time—curious, busy, and figuring out life. That first connection led to a meeting, but the timing wasn’t quite right. Life had other plans, and we went our separate ways to grow, learn, and chase our goals. Four years later, in 2018, life brought us back to each other—this time, at just the right moment. We had both completed our undergraduate studies, matured through our experiences, and found ourselves more grounded in who we were and what we wanted. That’s when everything clicked. As our relationship blossomed, we began building a life side by side. When the world slowed down in 2020, we moved in together in Arlington and created a peaceful little world of our own. In July 2021, we welcomed Coco, our sweet and sassy pup, who brought even more love and energy into our lives. Later that year, on a breathtaking trip to Hawaii, Zolboo proposed to Ariuka on top of the Diamond Head Crater. With the ocean breeze and endless sky around us, she said yes. In 2022, we planted deeper roots and bought our first home together in Centreville. Then in December 2023, we made our commitment official and became husband and wife on paper, surrounded by love, gratitude, and quiet excitement for what was to come. Our hearts expanded in the most beautiful way when we welcomed our baby boy, Hunter, into the world in February 2024. He completed our little family and brought a whole new kind of love into our lives. As we built our life together, we made a discovery that felt almost too unbelievable to be real. While flipping through Ariuka’s old first grade graduation photos from Mongolia, Zolboo started recognizing familiar faces—his childhood friends. Then, with wide eyes and laughter, he spotted himself standing in the same class photo—just three rows away from Ariuka. We couldn’t believe it. Somehow, our story had quietly begun long before Facebook ever entered the picture. This wedding is more than a celebration—it’s a full-circle moment. From unknowingly sharing a childhood classroom to building a life filled with love, laughter, and growth, our story is a beautiful reminder that love always finds its way. And now, surrounded by family, friends, and the people we love most, we begin our forever—hand in hand.
