Our story began in the most unexpected way, at our landlord’s house. We had both come to the United States with big dreams and excitement, ready to start a new chapter through an international work experience program (J-1 Visa). Little did we know that chapter would also bring us to each other. From the very beginning, there was an instant connection; laughter, shared dreams, and countless conversations that made every moment feel special. Our first kiss was on Christmas of 2021, a magical night that marked the start of something beautiful. Three amazing years later, filled with adventures, growth, and love, we are now engaged and excited to say “I do” on May 16, 2026. What started as a work experience has become the most meaningful journey of our lives.
