It was the summer of 2016 in the vibrant city of Chicago when fate brought us together at Starbucks. Kayla, a 21-year-old visitor, and Alex, a 19-year-old nursing a serious hangover, crossed paths in the bustling coffee shop. Little did we know that seemingly ordinary encounter would set the stage for a remarkable love story. Our connection was immediate and undeniable. From the very moment we met, we knew something special had begun. It wasn't long before we established a daily ritual of FaceTiming, which served as a lifeline, bridging the physical distance that separated us. On September 3rd, 2016, we took the leap and made our relationship official, embracing the exciting journey ahead. While Kayla pursued her studies at Florida Tech and Alex navigated his academic path at DePaul, we faced the challenges of a long-distance relationship with unwavering determination. Despite the obstacles, we prioritized seeing each other in person at least once a month, savoring those cherished moments together, which fueled our love and deepened our bond. After a year of shared experiences and growing affection, Alex knew it was true love. As a testament to his commitment, he surprised Kayla with a special gift: Louie, symbolizing his unwavering devotion and his desire to be with her forever. In 2018, as Kayla graduated from Florida Tech, she made the life-changing decision to move to Chicago and build a home with Alex. Together, we embarked on a thrilling adventure, embracing new opportunities and overcoming obstacles. We weathered the storm of three different apartments, pursued various career paths, and navigated the unexpected challenges brought forth by the global pandemic. But our love held strong, and as 2021 ended, we took a leap of faith and embarked on a thrilling adventure. We decided to make our dreams come true by relocating to the vibrant city of Miami. Each day now brings us new experiences and joy, as we embrace the excitement of this next chapter together. Our lives have been woven together in the very place where our love story began. From that serendipitous Starbucks encounter, we have built a strong foundation filled with laughter, growth, and unwavering support. As we embark on this new chapter, hand in hand, we eagerly embrace the future, knowing that our love has been tested and fortified. Join us as we celebrate our journey, a story that started with a chance meeting at Starbucks and continues to unfold with joy, adventure, and endless cups of love.
