How it all began
We first crossed paths in 2012 through mutual friends at church, but life had different plans for us then. Fast forward to 2019, when fate intervened. Both a little adventurous, we began chatting through DMs. On August 11, 2019, thanks to Emely’s sister who wanted to see a movie Emely wasn't interested in, we had our first one-on-one hangout. Samir drove 30 minutes to a local shopping center where we bonded over coffee and pizza for two unforgettable hours. The chemistry was undeniable! Our connection was so strong that we met again the following weekend, this time at Universal Studios, where we shared our very first kiss on the Spiderman ride. From that moment on, we were inseparable, marking August 18, 2019, as the start of our beautiful journey together.
