We first crossed paths back in university. Saina was spending an afternoon volunteering in her club’s office when Nathan wandered in, peeking through the doorway to ask if he could come inside. Time flew by as everyone chatted and shared stories, with Nathan mentioning he was majoring in political science. Eventually, it was time to head to class, and as Saina left, she noticed Nathan walking right beside her, matching her every step across campus. She couldn’t help but wonder if she’d suddenly gained a stalker—until they both walked through the same door and found themselves taking the same organic chemistry class. A surprising start… but that day marked the beginning of everything.

Under the warm midday sun on a cliff in Naxos, we stood hand-in-hand, gazing over the endless blue of the Mediterranean Sea. It was our first adventure overseas, and the magic of that moment—the sea stretching out before us, the world seeming to pause just for us—felt like a dream. On that cliff, with a view as beautiful as the love we share, one simple question marked the beginning of our forever.
