How We Met

5/30/2021

Amidst the tempestuous days of Covid, fate conspired to unite two kindred souls, bound together by a virtual thread of serendipity. In the misty month of May 2021, as the pandemic raged on, our hearts found solace in each other through the unassuming medium of a dating app. Our first encounter unfolded beneath the golden sun, as we sought refuge in the soothing embrace of Zuma Beach. With sustenance in hand, we sat together, sharing not only a meal, but the beginning of a journey that would intertwine our lives forevermore. As the hours slipped away, our conversation flowed like a river of emotion, neither of us wishing for the sands of time to hasten its course. In the twilight of our enchanting day, we sought shelter within the comforting darkness of a cinema, where stories of love and adventure mirrored the blossoming of our own connection. Now, bound by our shared passion for the silver screen, we revel in the magic of movie nights our hearts ever-entwined in the dance of eternal romance.

The Proposal

2/2/23

On the memorable evening of their proposal, the atmosphere was brimming with romance. James had thoughtfully arranged electric candles and delicate rose petals along a path to the back of the unlit house from the front door, guiding Chiamaka to a table where large illuminated letters spelled out "MARRY ME." Patiently waiting by the sign, James was ready to ask the most important question of their lives. As Chiamaka opened the front door of their home, she was pleasantly surprised by the scene before her and let out a scream of delight. She followed the path with excitement and immediately showered James with hugs and affection. He reminded her that there was still a question to be asked. Dropping to one knee, James offered his heartfelt proposal. Chiamaka's response was a joyful "Yes!", and now we are excitedly preparing to celebrate our love story with you. As we embark on the journey of a lifetime, we eagerly await sharing the next chapter with our cherished friends and family.
