We're getting married! 08.31.25

Some love stories begin with a grand introduction, but ours was written in the little moments—many of which we didn’t even realize at the time. Though we didn't officially meet until after college, we attended the same university. We later discovered that our paths had crossed countless times before on campus. There were many times we had been in the same place, at the same time, without ever truly realizing it. Looking back, it feels like life was gently nudging us together, waiting for the perfect moment. And then, when we needed each other the most, we finally met. Right time, right place. From that moment on, everything just made sense. On the night we became official, we went out to dinner to celebrate. As we were eating dinner, filled with excitement for what felt like the start of something special, a woman approached us. She insisted that she take our picture for us. We agreed and gave her our phone so that she could take our picture (image below). The woman was very excited to be in that moment with us. As she returned our phone, she said that something had told her she was supposed to be there in that moment with us. She looked at us and grinned as she said "This must be God's wink", not knowing we were there to celebrate the start of something new. At that moment, we smiled at each other and she wished us a good night. Looking back, that night felt like a sign, a small but powerful confirmation that we were exactly where we were meant to be, at the right time and the right place.
