We met on August of 2019, but began officially dating on November. In 2020, the Pandemic hit which caused us to quarantine together. This experience brought us closer and accelerated the development of our relationship. With time, we grew more and more fond of each other. We hit a rough patch on 2022, when various factors tested the strength of our relationship. At the end, love won. We came out of our first “big obstacle” stronger than ever. This prompted some serious reflection on our future. What was once “feelings for each other” became certainty that this is the person we want to live our life with. On New Years Eve of 2023, I proposed to Giovanna with excitement about out future together. The rest, as they say, is history.
