Estelle and Dominic have known one another nearly their entire lives. They grew up together in the Union City Apostolic Church, and their families have been close long before Estelle or Dominic was even a thought. As a matter of fact, Estelle and Dominic share an Uncle and an Aunt (on opposite sides, obviously, don't be weird). Estelle and Dominic have seen each other through different seasons of their lives and maintained a strong friendship throughout, always understanding there was something special about one another. This friends-to-lovers story took time to develop as Estelle and Dominic completed their bachelor's degrees at Wheaton College and UC Berkeley, respectively. It wasn't until they had both graduated and were preparing to enter into yet another season of their lives that this love first blossomed. And after discussing what they each needed in a future partner and prematurely concluding that there couldn't possibly be anyone who fit their criteria, Estelle and Dominic realized with a smile that they were describing each other all along. The rest is history.
