We are getting married!

We met in the digital expanse, amidst a sea of voices and faces. It was on a platform where dreams were shared, desires laid bare. I posted about my longing for adventure, and she, like a beacon of light, responded with a simple yet profound invitation—to go bowling. We set a date, and as the appointed evening approached, my heart raced with anticipation. Would she find me worthy? Would her presence match the warmth of her words? When she arrived, time seemed to stand still. Chika was a vision, her braided hair framing a smile that could light up the darkest night. In her winter boots, she exuded confidence and grace, and I found myself utterly captivated. We were meant to bowl, yet fate had other plans. Engrossed in each other's stories, we forgot about the lanes and instead surrendered to the magic of conversation. Hours slipped by like fleeting moments, and with each word exchanged, I felt myself falling deeper under her spell. As days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, our bond grew stronger with each passing moment. We explored the streets of downtown Pasadena, her laughter echoing through the alleyways as we indulged in the simple pleasure of window shopping. With every shared adventure, I knew in my heart that she was the one. Yet, the fear of rejection lingered like a shadow, casting doubt upon my resolve. But after three months of waiting, I couldn't bear to keep my feelings hidden any longer. With trembling hands and a heart overflowing with love, I finally mustered the courage to ask for her hand in marriage. And when she said yes, it felt as if the stars themselves had aligned to bless our union. Together, we have traversed the highs and lows of life, weathering storms and basking in the warmth of each other's embrace. Chika has become not only my partner but also my best friend, my confidante, my soulmate. I am filled with gratitude and awe that out of all the souls in the universe, she chose to walk this journey with me. And as we stand hand in hand, ready to face whatever adventures lie ahead, I know that our love will continue to be the guiding light that illuminates our path.
