Now our story, starts off unlike any other love story, but starts to lean towards one as this naive guy(that’s me, Cyril) does something(well quite a few things) that are stupid. So I met this woman who seemed to be forced into my face by our mutual friend, Alex, at a party in med school(Of all places..smh). We talked, we danced, & we hit it off. We connect via Facebook(A great step forward lol), but afterwards, we continued to make awkward eye contact with each other for 6-8 months before I finally decided to ask her to the next med school party(which she turned down for a date with her medical textbook—now I know I should’ve said/done something 6 months ago, but c'mon, being turned down for a book??). Anyway, I go to the party, but what happens next is a miracle—we start talking again(I thought to myself, success! Now we’re going somewhere, right? Wrong). We actually stop talking on Facebook altogether for the next 3 months so she can study for her Step 1(Welcome to the life of a Doctor). I thought it was over but I decide to shoot her a text to which she actually replies back & we continue talking(Yes! I can’t believe it). Eventually, I get that 1st date & it’s in, oh boy you guessed it, one of the most romantic places! Chipotle…yup…Chipotle. We have a good time & proceed to go on further dates. Here’s the part you were waiting for where I’m the typical stupid guy you see in movies. When I say “I love you” before I text her to take it back. Yup, you read that right. I texted her because I was an idiot. She was upset for quite a while as you can imagine, before we made amends. We’ve had plenty of other dates & times where I wrote romantic letters, odes, etc & she gave me memorabilia and handcrafted gifts that make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I’ve been writing too much so…we’re not perfect, far from it, but despite it all, I proposed to Jasmin on March 14, 2020. She said yes. And here we are today getting ready to celebrate our big day with you all!
