and the two shall become one

We met in the seventh grade while attending Sunset Ridge Elementary and living in the same neighborhood. Eventually, we moved onto high school and went our separate ways. We remained friends through high school and college. In 2017, our friendship blossomed into the wonderful love we have today.

After having High Tea in the Atmosphere at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the violinist began to play "A thousand years" and the waiter brings out a domed plate "special dessert" to Demetria. Demetria lifted the dome to reveal a rose covered plate with engagement ring in the center. We were standing at the top of the tallest building in the world and at the peak of our lives.
