We’re Getting Married

On the first day of freshman year, Marcus walked into his history class with the typical mix of nerves and excitement. As he scanned the room for an empty seat, his eyes fell upon Michelle, who was sitting alone, flipping through her new textbook. Little did he know, this assignment would change his life. The teacher, Mr. Thompson, assigned them to sit next to each other for the year, tasked with working together on class projects. Both slightly shy, their initial interactions were polite and focused on their shared assignments. As they exchanged phone numbers to coordinate their homework, they couldn't help but share a smile, sensing the beginning of something meaningful. Throughout high school, Marcus and Michelle found themselves in every history class together. Their friendship blossomed as they navigated the ups and downs of teenage life—homecoming dances, sports events, and late-night study sessions. They were there for each other through heartbreaks and triumphs, their bond growing stronger with each passing year. It wasn’t until after the summer following graduation that Marcus and Michelle realized their feelings had grown beyond friendship. As they spent those warm, carefree months together, their connection deepened, and they officially became a couple. Years marched on, and Marcus and Michelle flourished as a young couple deeply in love. They bought a cozy little house and started a family, blessed with two energetic boys who filled their days with laughter and love. Together, they conquered challenges and celebrated successes, always supporting each other’s dreams. Now in early adulthood, Marcus and Michelle look back on the chances of fate that had brought them together in that history class. They cherish the journey they've shared, knowing that their history is still being written, full of promise and love.
