In 2020, fate gave us another chance. Richard reached out to Christine on Instagram after years of being out of touch. What started as a simple DM quickly turned into plans for a first date. Little did we know, that one evening would change everything. From the moment we met, the connection was undeniable. After that night, it felt like the universe had aligned. Our shared interests, chemistry, and the ease in which we communicated led us to more dates, and soon we found ourselves exploring not just new restaurants, but new states and countries together. The more we got to know each other, the more we realized how much we loved the same things. From cozy nights in cooking dinner together, trying our hands at new dishes, to going on spontaneous hiking trips and seeking out new adventures, we truly embraced each moment. Each new place we visited became a chapter in our story—whether it was hiking up a mountain or diving into the culture of a far-off city. We loved discovering the world side-by-side, savoring every dish, every view, and every laugh. Our shared experiences have become the heart of our relationship, strengthening our bond in ways we never imagined. Looking back, it's hard to believe how much we've done together already, and we can’t wait to see what new adventures await us next.
