To meet someone you love is one thing but to meet that person in your friend is entirely extraordinary. We started off as friends. It was comfortable, full of laughter and lighthearted moments. But somewhere along the way, something changed. He began noticing little things, leaving sweet compliments like "You look really pretty today" and showing up in small but meaningful ways. And I began to notice how easy it was to be with him and how natural to just be myself. The beauty of our story is that it grew slowly and genuinely, with friendship at its core. We fell in love not just with each other, but with the comfort, and joy we had already built. Now, we're excited to begin this next chapter together and we're grateful to share it with with the people we love the most.
