Five years later, it’s finally time to celebrate the love we never got to toast!

Robin and Herson's love story is a journey shaped by serendipity, shared passions, and sweet surprises. It began when Herson accidentally signed up for the same English class as Robin. This scheduling mix-up turned out to be a happy accident, giving them a shared break in which they often had lunch and studied together. Those moments sparked a connection that grew naturally from friendship into love. As their bond deepened, their connection blossomed during special moments, like their first Valentine's Day together. Robin had to babysit her little brother, and Herson, always supportive, offered to help. What started as a simple favor turned into a memorable day spent together, marking the beginning of a deeper connection that would continue to grow. Their shared love of rock music became a constant thread in their relationship, effortlessly bringing them closer as they spent time exploring new bands, attending concerts, and enjoying their favorite tunes. It was during this time that their love began to feel not just natural but destined. The proposal unfolded in two beautiful parts, each reflecting their unique dynamic. The first proposal happened during a cozy date night at home, with Herson down on one knee after a homemade dinner. It was a moment of pure simplicity, marked by a temporary ring they had previously discussed. Later, they chose their forever rings together. Herson planned a second, more elaborate proposal as a surprise: after a fancy dinner, he presented Robin with a Valentine's Day basket containing the new ring, along with a heartfelt speech (at her gentle suggestion). Both proposals remain cherished memories, perfectly encapsulating the love and thoughtfulness he put into each one. Like many couples, their plans were upended by the COVID pandemic. With safety as their priority, they canceled their original wedding and instead married privately during that time. Though the moment was intimate and special, they dreamed of one day celebrating with family and friends. Now, on their 5th anniversary, they’re finally bringing that dream to life. Together, Robin and Herson have embraced a shared life filled with both adventure and "nerdy" delights. From hiking, camping, and snowboarding to attending conventions, cosplaying, and collecting memorabilia, they’ve found joy in pursuing their passions side by side.They’ve faced life's challenges hand in hand—graduating college together, navigating life during COVID, dealing with canceled plans, and relocating multiple times across states. Each step, no matter how challenging, has only strengthened their bond. Their story is one of shared joys, enduring strength, and a love that continues to grow.
