Kamsi and Pascal first met on a zoom date April 10, 2021. Kamsi had just relocated to San Francisco from Dallas, Texas during the Covid era. They played a fun game of song association and Pascal sang Kamsy's favorite Igbo song “Golibe by Flavour”. He thought she had the most gorgeous smile and the conversations just flowed. Pascal found himself cheesing after the date. There was definitely a spark, he thought. By the end of the date, Kamsi on her end found herself grinning, a feeling she couldn’t shake. There was something about Pascal’s energy and the way he made her laugh that felt like a spark. Neither of them knew it at the time, but that Zoom call marked the beginning of something special, and the connection only grew from there.

On September 17th 2022, after a few dates, Pascal invited Kamsi to the amusement park called Great America. With no idea that it would be more than just a fun outing, Kamsi thought of as simply another date. Pascal however had a deeper intention—he wanted to truly get to know her. As they spent the day together, he learned about her dreams, passions, and values. He was struck by her openness and courage. Even though Kamsi was terrified, she joined him on every wild ride, showing a bravery that only made him admire her more. By the end of the date, Pascal knew for certain—he wanted to date her.

On December 11th 2022, Pascal’s heart raced with both nerves and excitement as he prepared to ask Kamsi to be his girlfriend. Every second waiting for her to arrive felt like an eternity, but he knew it would all be worth it. When she finally stepped into the moment he’d created, Kamsi was overwhelmed—she felt deeply cherished, yet at the same time, almost unworthy of the love Pascal was offering. In that instant, the world seemed to fade away as they locked eyes, both filled with a sense of wonder and excitement. They knew, without a doubt, they were about to begin something extraordinary together.

After four years of friendship and nearly two years of dating, Pascal was absolutely certain—Kamsi was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. For months, he had been quietly planning the perfect way to ask her the most important question of his life.

On the 21st anniversary of their first date, Pascal took Kamsi to her favorite place: the beach. Kamsi, unaware of the surprise in store, was simply excited to spend the evening with him by the ocean. The golden hues of the setting sun reflected on the water as Pascal held her hand, leading her along the shoreline. Suddenly, the soft, soulful notes of a saxophonist drifted through the air, playing their favorite song, “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” Kamsi’s eyes sparkled with joy, but she still didn’t suspect what was coming. They stopped at a secluded spot with a breathtaking view of the horizon. The sound of the waves mingled with the music as Pascal turned to face her, his heart pounding. Taking a deep breath, he dropped on one knee, pulling a small velvet box from his pocket. “Kamsi,” he began, his voice steady but full of emotion, “you’ve been my best friend, my partner, and my greatest joy. I can’t imagine my life without you. Will you make me the happiest man alive and be my forever?” Her hands flew to her face in disbelief, tears welling in her eyes. The moment felt surreal, but her answer was immediate and certain. “Absolutely!” she exclaimed, her voice trembling with excitement and love. As he slipped the ring onto her finger, the world seemed to pause for a moment, just for them. Kamsi couldn’t stop smiling, and neither could Pascal. From that moment on, she wasn’t just the love of his life—she was his Forever 21.
