For us, it all started with Amir’s sister and cousin. When I met them, I instantly adored them and they must have seen something in me too, because they were determined to introduce me to Amir. Little did I know, their intuition would lead to the most beautiful chapter of our life. At the time, Amir was living in Arizona, and I was in Virginia. Despite the distance, we decided to take a chance and meet. For our very first date, Amir invited me to join him on his family’s vacation in Isla Mujeres. It was a bold and spontaneous move, but something told me it was the right one. From the moment I stepped onto that sun-drenched island, everything fell into place. We spent our days exploring the turquoise waters, sharing stories, and laughing as if we’d known each other forever. What could have been a risky first date turned into an unforgettable beginning a moment where we both realized this was something extraordinary. After that magical trip, we navigated the challenges of long distance, cherishing every visit and phone call. It wasn’t long before Amir made the decision to move back to Virginia. With that, we were finally able to start building a life together. In the summer of 2023, we took the next big step and bought our first home, a place where we’ve built countless memories and dreamed about the future. Our love story grew alongside our little family. When we met, Amir already had Wolfe, his loyal German Shepherd, and I had Mochi, my mischievous yet lovable cat. Last Christmas, we added Bear, our playful Irish Doodle, to the mix. Together, our house is always full of wagging tails, purring, and the kind of love that makes even the simplest days feel special. Now, we’re beyond excited to celebrate our next chapter with all of you in Puerto Rico in May 2025. Thank you for being part of our journey. We can’t wait to share this incredible moment with the people who mean the most to us. xoxo
