Ours is a love story like no other. One filled with adventure, drama, laughter, and plenty of good music. We first met in 2019. Both 21, both curious about the world—and by pure luck (or maybe destiny)—we found each other fairly attractive (our words, not anyone else’s!). That first interaction set the tone for our relationship: fun, spontaneous, and undeniably magnetic. We stood in a large crowded room across each other, and our eyes locked, music pulsing in the background, as we gravitated toward each other like two souls moving in sync with the beat. We danced and danced, completely unbothered by who was watching, until we ran out of moves—and instinctively there was something special about the other, and in that moment the first butterfly was born. But like many young love stories, reality wasn’t always in tune with our hearts. Our personal paths and career ambitions began to pull us in different directions. We were still learning, still growing, and navigating the complexities of life wasn’t something we’d mastered just yet. So, after a few beautiful months, we drifted apart. Still, we never truly let go. Over the years, we’d check in on each other from time to time—each conversation sparking the same feeling as that night we met. Time would pass, but the butterflies? They never left. Fast forward five years, and fate brought us back into each other’s orbit. But this time, we were grown. We’d reached new heights in our careers, overcome challenges, and become better versions of ourselves. What began as a simple catch-up quickly turned into hours of conversation. The words flowed effortlessly—unfiltered, honest, and full of laughter. To our surprise (or perhaps not), the curiosity, the joy, the butterflies… they were all still there. So, we took the leap. We gave our connection a real chance—and in doing so, we allowed ourselves to evolve, together. The challenges we faced didn’t break us; they shaped us. They pushed us to grow into stronger, wiser, and more loving versions of who we were always meant to be. And now, as we stand at the beginning of this new chapter, our wedding is more than just a celebration. It’s a symbol—of love rekindled, of growth, of destiny. Of butterflies that never stopped fluttering. Because in the end, our butterflies were eternal. And they always led us back to each other.
