We’re getting married!

Once upon a time, in the carefree days of childhood, two lives were about to cross paths in a way that would change everything. Nathalie's story began in kindergarten, where she met her best friend, Karina. The two were inseparable, laughing and playing their way through school, unaware that their friendship would lead Nathalie to someone special. Enter Kevin—a kid who quickly became part of their little crew. While his grandma visited family in the States, he would stay at Nathalie's uncle’s house next door. Their families shared a common story, both having immigrated to the U.S., and they found comfort in the care of their grandparents. Kevin, Karina, and Nathalie spent countless afternoons dreaming up adventures and jokingly calling Nathalie his girlfriend, a title she found hilarious. But then life happened. Kevin and Karina moved to Indiana to reunite with their parents, leaving Nathalie feeling heartbroken. Their childhood friendship faded into memories, and while Nathalie settled in New York, she continued to visit Indiana each year to see Karina. However, she never crossed paths with “her boyfriend” again. Kevin had become shy and admitted he still had a crush on her, but Nathalie viewed it as just a silly childhood thing. Fast forward to 2021—everything changed. Nathalie moved to Indiana, and Karina invited her to a baseball game, teasingly saying they’d go see “her boyfriend.” Nathalie was excited but had no idea what awaited her. When she walked into the stadium and saw Kevin, a rush of emotions hit her. Her heart raced, and she thought, “It’s just little Kevin.” But he was no longer just a kid; he had grown into a man, and the connection between them was electric. Despite her efforts to brush off the feelings as nostalgia, Nathalie knew something had shifted. In that moment, she realized she had been searching for something her whole life—a sense of home. She had thought home was a place, but she discovered it was a person, and that person was Kevin. As they began to explore their relationship, their bond grew stronger. They became a true team, facing life’s ups and downs together. With each passing day, Nathalie felt more at peace, knowing she had found her other half. Their love story is proof of the magic of timing and the journey that brought them back together. Now, as they prepare to promise their lives to one another, Nathalie reflects on their journey with gratitude. She has found not just a partner but her true home in Kevin. Together, they are ready to write the next chapters of their lives, filled with love, laughter, and endless adventures. And so, their story continues, woven with the threads of their past and the bright tapestry of their future, hand in hand, heart to heart.
