Dear Family & Friends From the bottom of our hearts and souls, thank you for your love, friendship, and faith as we shared our love story with all of you. Your love echoed through every moment of our journey. It reminded us that love truly is victorious when it’s shared by all. Love isn’t always easy—but it’s powerful, beautiful, and transformative when Love Wins. Your friendship gave us more than any gift ever could. You made this moment magical and memorable. No gift was too big or too small—because, in the end, the memories were the greatest gift of all. Remember where you were when we announced we’d fallen in love? Or that time in Vegas when we partied ‘til the cows came home? Graduation ceremonies, prom nights, trips to Paris, double dates, virtual calls during the pandemic, helping each other find jobs, funerals, weddings—you’ve been there through it all. Your faith, and the faith you had in us, carried us through both the triumphs and the tribulations. No matter what the world put in front of us—we kept climbing the hill toward the hilltop of love. And we were never alone. You were with us. Together, we reached the hilltop—standing on promontory land overlooking our beloved Tongva Land, the City and County of the Angels. From the ocean to the mountains, beneath blue skies that emerged after a much-needed rain—nurturing the land, and symbolically, our love. As Galatians 6:9 says, “So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time, we will reap a harvest of blessings if we don’t give up.” That drive up the hill—to that hilltop moment—we will cherish with you forever. With Honor, Gratitude, and Love, Medhanie & Alana Habte
