On a Sunday evening at seven o’clock, fate brought us together at Sake Restaurant. Over sushi and martinis, we discovered that food was more than just a shared passion—it was a pathway to each other’s hearts. One date quickly led to another. Lunch at Blaze Pizza, Mexican food soon after… with every bite, every laugh, every conversation, our appetites shifted from food to something deeper—love. Day by day, our connection grew stronger, as if we had known each other forever. Not long after, Sofia moved in with Derek, making our love not just something we felt, but something we lived every day. Family has always been the heart of who we are, so it was only fitting that our parents first met at Sofia’s Medical Residency graduation—a moment so special that even her advisor, Dr. Murphy, took note of it. That day, it became clear that we weren’t just gaining a partner in life; we were gaining a family. Our love took us on adventures, from celebrating our birthday month in the bustling streets of New York City to the charm of Boston. But the most unforgettable moment came on Christmas Eve, surrounded by warmth and joy of family at Sofia’s parents’ house. With hearts full of love and excitement for the future, Sofia said "yes" to forever.
