I never thought that the quiet boy that assisted the teacher in my world studies class in high school would one day become my husband. Christian was always so reserved, barely speaking a word to anyone in class. I, on the other hand, was the outgoing and bubbly girl who made friends easily-ish. We were complete opposites, yet there was something about him that intrigued me. As the school year went on, we started to talk a little more and more. I would make small talk with him during class, asking about his interests and hobbies. I soon discovered that Christian was passionate about soccer and played on the school's team with his friends. I was amazed by his love and dedication for the sport. One day, after he graduated and lost contact for an entire year, he messaged me one day on Instagram to see how I was doing. Then he asked if i wanted to hang out with him after his shift at the hospital (because that was where the military needed him especially with covid going on) so the very next night that he got of he picked me up and we hung out on top of the hospital parking garage, and just talked for a couple hours. them he asked me what id do if he kissed me and said i don't know lol that's a funny question, and he said let's find out and just kissed me. After that Christian asked me out. I was over the moon with excitement and eager said yes. for a while we would always go o the parking garage and look at the stars. I never minded though i loved his company. Our relationship blossomed throughout the months and then years that we have been together, despite the challenges of maintaining a military relationship amongts other things. We have still managed to be their and support eachother through it all, and our love only grew stronger with each passing day. About 1 and more than a half years later he finally purposed. i was so happy and crying my eyes out I just couldn't believe i was goanna marry the man i liked in high school. after another year we decided to start wedding planning, and now we are getting mariied july 11, 2026. Our love story may have begun as high school acquaintances, but it has blossomed into a beautiful and enduring relationship. Christian is not just my husband – he is my best friend, my rock, and my soulmate. I am grateful every day for the bond we share and the love that continues to grow between us. Looking back on our journey from high school acquaintances to husband and wife, I am amazed at how far we have come. Our love has withstood the test of time and only continues to flourish with each passing day. Christian will always be the quiet boy I sat next to in my World studies class, but to me, he is so much more – he is the love of my life <3
