Ah, our story began at NC State University. Fate had us cross paths in the library, courtesy of some mutual friends. Little did we know that a seemingly ordinary meeting would kickstart a whirlwind of days filled with endless texts and marathon phone calls. It was like our connection was written in the stars, unfolding unexpectedly. Those initial conversations paved the way for countless shared moments, laughter, and endless talks that stretched into the wee hours. As we ventured through days together, the ordinary transformed into the extraordinary. Before we knew it, love had woven its magic into our story, creating a tale that would become our own unique history. From a chance encounter in the library to falling head over heels, our journey unfolded in ways we couldn't have predicted, making every twist and turn a cherished part of us.

Picture this: the moon casting its gentle glow over Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as we found ourselves in a charming waterfront restaurant. After relishing a delicious meal, I excused myself for a moment to compose myself for a life-altering decision. Returning to the table under the night sky, I dropped to one knee. As she turned around, complete surprise and awe painted her face. Happiness radiated from her, and in that moment, I could feel the magic in the air. With a beaming smile, I asked her the question that would change our lives, and her face spoke volumes before she confirmed it with a resounding "YES." The night embraced our joy, and in that hug and kiss, time seemed to freeze. This enchanting evening, beneath the stars, is forever etched in our hearts as the beginning of a beautiful chapter.
