Our story didn’t start with a spark; it started with a textbook. We met in sophomore year history class, navigating the world's past while unknowingly building our own future. Over the next few years, we became close friends, sharing laughs and hallway chats until graduation took us on separate paths. Life moved on, and we eventually drifted apart until a random morning changed everything. While driving to campus, Chhuong spotted a familiar face walking to class on the sidewalk. That afternoon, he reached out: "Need a ride tomorrow?" What started as a simple carpool turned into long talks, which turned into first dates, and eventually, the realization that we were never meant to be "just friends." Fast forward a few years: Chhuong thought he had the perfect plan. Chhuong had the ring. What he didn't have was a good hiding spot. While he was frantically trying to hide a surprise in the backseat, Diane pointed into his car’s cup holder and found the ring. Chhuong had completely forgotten the most important item in plain view. It wasn't the “polished" proposal he had planned, but it was perfectly them: spontaneous, a little chaotic, and full of love.
