Our Story We met most unexpectedly through a random reply on Instagram. It started with just one comment, one message that somehow brought two hearts together. What makes our story even more special is that we didn’t know then that we had already shared so much of our lives before. We went to the same school from grade 2 all the way to grade 12, passing each other in hallways, maybe sharing glances in classrooms, never knowing that years later we’d mean everything to each other. When we reconnected, Martha was living abroad. Our love was born and raised at a distance, countless messages, long calls, laughing through screens, sometimes crying too. We faced misunderstandings, time zone differences, and the ache of not being able to hold each other’s hands. But every challenge made us stronger. Now, after all that waiting, hoping, and all that loving from afar, we are finally on our way to get married. This is our story, one that started with a random reply but was always written in our hearts.
