Our Forever Begins

Cristina and I first met at brunch through mutual friends, and from the very first day, there was an instant connection between us. What started as a brunch quickly turned into hours filled with laughter, effortless conversation, and a feeling that we had known each other far longer than we actually had. Over the following weeks, group gatherings slowly turned into moments shared between just the two of us. Before our first date, Ricky asked if I would rather meet there or have him pick me up — such a simple gesture, yet one I had never experienced before. I still remember asking my parents what to do: my mom saying, “That’s so sweet, let him pick you up,” while my dad insisted I drive myself. In the end, I let Ricky pick me up, and from the very beginning, his kindness stood out. That first date was equal parts romantic and chaotic — our food and drinks never even arrived — but none of it mattered because our conversation and connection made the night unforgettable. From there, we built a life full of love, laughter, and memories together. Years later, Ricky proposed in front of the Colosseum in Rome, making forever official. Now, we are so excited to begin this next chapter and celebrate it with the people we love most!
