We noticed each other instantly on the first day of class. Months after, during a class trip, we finally conversed and spent long hours together at school. We felt intensely close to one another in body & spirit so fast that it seemed alarming and unreal. I felt something so comforting with him, like when you feel that perfect bed you can never leave. I almost thought of passing this chance by, due to a complicated circumstance, but he helped me realize that I should never hesitate to go after my own happiness. He took up the challenge of being with me. We've had some wild experiences together these past six years and were profoundly tested from the start. Though, I have come to admit that in any circumstance or situation, I would not want to be with anyone else but him.
I never really paid much attention to the people who went to OCCC. It was the last semester of my Associate's degree when we first met in 2013. We shared a science class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. During the first half of the semester, we barely spoke to each other. It wasn't until March, near Spring Break, when I completely acknowledged her. Our class went on a field trip to collect statistical data, and that was the day that brought us together. What would normally be just an ordinary day to many people can be defined differently by myself. As we spent more time together, I had the opportunity to realize that we were meant for each other. Our relationship has continued to grow from that point on. As the years have passed, I've been amazed by the strength of our love and that no matter what we encountered in our lives, we did it together. That is what led me to ask for her hand in marriage. It has taken some time, but I know that we are both ready.
