Lets take a walk into our new journey.

To the Love of My Life, It all started on Monday morning, October 16th, 2023 the day I met the most amazing woman ever created, though I didn’t know it yet. We had just started training to become Customs Officers, and from the moment I saw you, you struck me as shy and quiet. That’s what I thought at first… but oh, how wrong I was. Every morning, without fail, I made sure to walk up to you with a smile and say, “Good morning.” And every morning, you’d look at me like, “Why is this stranger talking to me?” Still, I kept at it until after a few months, I started to feel like giving up. Then, one unforgettable morning, I didn’t say anything. But you did. You turned to me with the biggest smile and said, “Good morning,” and in that moment, everything changed. From then on, our greetings became part of the morning routine. You’d smile, say good morning, and I saw glimpses of something beyond the shy exterior. Then one day, I overheard you tell a colleague, in a bold, confident voice, “You better don’t play with me!” and just like that, I realized: maybe you’re not as quiet as I thought. I knew I had to get to know you better. Your seat was a bit far from mine, so I made it my goal to get you sitting closer. One day, you sat way in the back of the classroom. I invited you to sit at my table, but you declined. Then, by what I can only describe as divine timing, our trainer said the people in the back needed to move forward. Perfect. I told you our trainer said you had to move up and join me. You couldn’t say no to that. Once you were at my table, the conversations began not much at first, but it was something. After class one day, you noticed me standing outside and asked if I had a ride. I told you my car was down and I was fine walking. You offered to drop me home. And that, my love, was the start of our connection. You began picking me up and dropping me off. We started talking more, sharing more. Looking back, I don’t know if it was your plan or mine that brought us closer but either way, I’m so glad it worked. Eventually, after a few offers of lunch (which you always declined), you asked me, “What are your intentions?” I answered honestly: “I like you, and I just want to get you something to eat. I can’t buy you lunch?” I continued liking you, spending time with you, trying to show you how I felt, even though you didn’t seem as interested. Part of me wanted to give up, feeling like I was bothering you… but a bigger part of me just couldn’t let go. On February 14th, 2024, I sent you a surprise gift basket to class. I hoped you’d like it and I think you did, because that night, you agreed to go on a date with me. It didn’t go exactly as planned, but it turned out to be one of the most amazing evenings of my life. You wore a black dress that took my breath away I couldn’t stop telling you how beautiful you looked. After a few lunch dates and that dinner, I assumed we were together… until you made it clear we weren’t at least not officially. So, I asked you in person. And on February 22nd, 2024, you said yes. That’s the day our journey truly began. From there, we dated, got to know each other deeply, and prayed over our relationship. We brought each other before God, seeking His will. And it became clearer with each passing day I was falling in love with you. The more time I spent with you, the more I realized just how extraordinary you are. You’ve supported me in every possible way physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. You’ve shown me what love, strength, and partnership truly look like. I fell so deeply in love with you that I knew I wanted to marry you. So, I spoke to your parents and told them my intentions and I planned a surprise engagement for November 16th, 2024. Funny enough, for someone who’s usually late, you were trying to be early that day. And I’m so glad you were. Since our engagement, you’ve continued to show me, every single day, why I can’t wait to marry you.
