How We Met

The Beginning.

It all began when Deja, at the tender age of 8, moved into her new house in Atascocita. Little did she know that this new neighborhood would be the setting for a beautiful chapter in her life. The neighborhood became a playground where laughter echoed, and the bond between Deja and Mathew started to grow. Mathew who had already been friends with the kids on her street, had a natural talent for making everyone laugh, and it wasn't long before they found themselves becoming close friends. Those days were filled with shared adventures, playful moments, and the blossoming of a special bond. As time passed, something changed. Mathew, years later took a step beyond friendship and asked Deja to be his "girlfriend". Thus began their romantic journey that spanned six years filled with joy and challenges that come with growing up together. Life, however, took its twists and turns, leading to a period of separation. After six years together, circumstances led to a parting of ways, and they both embarked on different paths. But fate had other plans, and after five long years of being apart, their paths crossed once again. Reconnecting felt like rediscovering a piece of yourself that had been missing. The bond they shared in their youth had stood the test of time, and being back with together felt like returning to a place that was truly home. The laughter, the familiarity, and the love that had never truly faded away all came rushing back. And so, their story continued – a tale of childhood friends turned high school sweethearts, separated by time but reunited by destiny. In each other's arms, they found a sense of belonging that made every twist and turn worth the journey. And they lived happily ever after, in the place where love always felt like home.

The Proposal

7.23.23

On a warm summer day in July, Mathew found himself standing once again on the shores that held a lifetime of cherished memories. Memories of carefree laughter, of childhood memories that had taken root and flourished in the sands of time. But this evening was different; it was a moment that resonated with the bittersweet symphony of love and loss. In the tender embrace of the soft July breeze, Mathew stood hand in hand with Deja, their hearts entwined like the delicate dance of the waves before them. The private beach, a canvas of their shared history, had witnessed their journey from its earliest chapters. But on this afternoon, it bore witness to a new beginning, a chapter of love that they were about to etch into its very fabric. With a brimming heart full of anticipation and a touch of melancholy, Mathew turned to Deja. His voice, gentle and asked, "Will you marry me?" As he spoke, the memories of his Mimi, flowed through him like a warm current. He could almost feel her presence, as if the very air whispered her blessings upon their union. The beach, once a playground for a young boy's adventures, now stood as a sacred sanctuary of love and remembrance. And so, on that day, as the private beach stood witness to their love, Mathew and Deja embarked on a new voyage together. Their journey was blessed by the love that had paved the way, and as they walked hand in hand, they knew that every step was guided by the love of Mathew's Mimi, a love that had woven itself into the very fabric of their souls.
