Our Journey Together

Finding the missing piece

It all started in the most unexpected way. What began as a simple friendship quickly grew into something deeper, something we both knew was meant to last. From long talks that stretched late into the night to countless adventures together, our bond only grew stronger with time. Over the years, we’ve shared so many memories, travels, family gatherings, celebrations, and even quiet days that became special just because we were together. Through it all, we’ve learned that love is built not only on big moments, but also on the little ones that make everyday life brighter. The proposal was one of those unforgettable moments filled with excitement, joy, and just the right amount of nerves. It was perfect in its own way, a reflection of who we are as a couple: genuine, heartfelt, and full of love. And of course, our story wouldn’t be complete without Axel. He may not give a toast, but he’s been part of our journey from the start, always bringing joy, laughter, and unconditional love. That’s why he’s not just our dog, he’s our guest of honor. As we step into this next chapter, we are filled with gratitude and excitement. Marriage is more than a celebration; it’s the promise of building a life together, hand in hand, surrounded by love, family, and the future we’re creating. We can’t wait to continue writing our story with all of you there to share it.
