Our Love Story 我們的故事
Jeremy Yau
Groom
When I first met her, the thing that struck me immediately was how comfortable I felt beside her, like I could trust her entirely. It was something I had never experienced, yet I embraced it, as I reasoned I might never feel this again. Now as we prepare to commit to spending the rest of our lives together, I believe she will stand as the greatest reminder that when I lead with my heart, good things follow. Throughout our relationship, she has proven to be truly a person I respect, admire, and love. Since my past, I was fixated on being a good person, driven by this fear that I was not, and yet when I met her, goodness effortlessly radiated from her soul that I couldn’t help but be drawn in - inspired by her to believe in myself and become a man worthy of her. I chose to commit my life to her, determined to love and protect her, in reverence of all the love she has shown me. I have since seen my insecurity become humility, sensitivity into compassion, childishness to inspiration, and stubbornness into commitment. I think I finally understand that, through love - we are crafted into the best possible version of ourselves. "Love. A quiet sabotage born where one places their faith, simply because humans place their faith in the most unexpected, the most vulnerable of places. Like diamonds in the hands of thieves, secrets on the tip of a tongue – our faith is placed in the worst of places. Yet the hope it might endure, that act alone makes it beautiful. Makes it true."

Since the moment I met him, he has been the steady, unwavering force in my life—always dedicating himself to making our life better. Through every challenge day after day, he has shown me what it meant to be truly loved. I felt cherished in a way that was quiet but undeniable, and that kind of love has given me faith in us and confidence to commit to loving him for the rest of my life. One of the things I love most about us is how effortlessly we understand each other. We are both not very optimistic—and yet somehow, we have created a world for ourselves that is full of laughter and joy. The way he turns every situation humorous, has always made the tough days feel lighter, more tolerable, and every other day vibrant and fun. I also love the way we encourage each other to be better versions of ourselves. He is patient when I am stubborn, calm when I am restless, and kind when I am overwhelmed. I admire how he will meet me halfway or beyond, and the way he fights for us—choosing peace over pride, love over ego, and somehow, always bringing us closer to each other, even when on the rare occasions when I am being unreasonable. Choosing to spend the rest of my life with him has been one of the easiest decisions of my life, because together, love is not just a feeling; it is something I see in his actions, hear in his words, and feel in every moment shared. I cannot wait to continue this journey as husband and wife—and grow old together.
