We’re getting married !

We met on a Friday night at the Bronx YSA Institute—one of those ordinary evenings that turned into something extraordinary. We sat across from each other in different rows, and I couldn’t help but notice how handsome he was. At some point, he asked me my name, and that simple moment stayed with me longer than I expected. Weeks later, he sat behind me in class. I was so nervous. When class ended, I tried not to look back at all—but he immediately tried to talk to me. I left a few moments later, but something in my heart wouldn’t let me walk away. I felt this strong pull to go back, so I made up an excuse just to talk to him again. I asked him where the basement was so I could get to my car… and with my luck, he offered to walk me there. As we talked, everything felt easy. The more we spoke, the more I realized how much we had in common—and in that moment, I just knew. He was the one. Kelly became my happiness, my comfort, and my protector. From that Friday night on, my life changed in the most beautiful way. I am endlessly grateful for that quiet prompting that led me back to him—and even more grateful that I now get to call him mine.
