Our connection began through a shared spark on a dating app, where what started as a simple “Hello” became the beginning of something beautiful. Conversations felt effortless, filled with laughter and the kind of warmth that draws two people closer. From that very first date onward, we've been building a life brimming with joy, adventure, and unwavering support for one another. Our journey together has deepened every day, and we look forward to facing whatever comes next, side by side, as one.
