Our story began long before our first date. For three years, we were friends—sharing long Skype calls that stretched from day into night. Somewhere between the laughter, the deep conversations, and the quiet moments, love slowly found its way in. What started as friendship grew into something steady, intentional, and deeply meaningful. When we finally decided to meet in person, it wasn’t taken lightly. Julius picked Eunice up and, just as importantly, met her parents first. That was the rule—no dates without meeting Mum and Dad. It was a moment filled with nerves, respect, and love, and it reflected the values that have guided us from the very beginning. After three dates, we made it official. From that moment on, we chose each other—again and again. Through growth, change, and the many lessons life brought our way (both good and challenging), we stood by one another, learning what it truly means to love, support, and grow together. We were also surrounded by the unwavering support of our family and friends, whose love, encouragement, and belief in us carried us through every season. Along the way, we became fur parents to our baby dog Maia, who filled our lives with endless joy and unconditional love. What started with conversations across a screen turned into a life built hand in hand—rooted in love, strengthened by family and friends, and grounded in the choice to always choose each other.
