Our story began at a wedding that was extra special for both of us — it was my cousin’s and his brother’s big day. A little sparkle quite literally brought us together when he noticed a piece of glitter on my face and kindly picked it off. Neither of us knew it then, but that tiny moment would change our lives forever. After the wedding, we started texting and talking on the phone a lot! We quickly discovered how much we had in common. Conversation came so easily, and it felt like we had known each other forever. Our first date was on July 6, and from that day on, everything just felt right. By our third date, I accidentally told him I loved him — but the truth was, I truly did. When he met my daughters at the end of July, they adored him instantly. Before long, they were asking if they could start calling him “Dad,” and our little family began to feel complete. Two years later, on July 6, he proposed — with the girls watching and giggling with excitement. It was the perfect, love-filled moment that marked the beginning of our forever.
