Little did we know that when we met 6 years ago that we would be getting married. If you told us that back then, we both would have not believed it. We met intially at our friends birthday party. Siby the jokester and me the intimidating one who apparently wasn’t approachable, according to Siby at that time. We always had a connection that we both initally did not think much of, but our lives always circled back to each other. We started out as friends, to best friends, to fiancés and now to soulmates. Who knew a ferris wheel ride where we first held hands would be the start of our love story.

Every year we have a tradition with our group of friends of having a holiday party. I come back into town and we make it a celebration for my birthday and the holidays. We planned to do a dinner and that was the first day Siby did not rush me. Even when he would plan my birthday surprises, I would be rushed and had some idea something was going on. I was taking my precious time getting ready, not knowing that our family and friends were waiting in the freezing weather on the Highline Park in the city waiting for our arrival. Siby finally interrupted me, while I was getting ready and told me that we should see the Christmas lights on the Highline. As we walked there, I saw the rose petals and our loved ones on the corner peaking. Siby got down on one knee and the rest was a blur filled with happy tears and butterflies.
