Rose has always had the kindest heart. She has this radiant love that sees people for who they are, meeting everyone where they’re at. She’s one of those once-in-a-lifetime souls who leaves you with more love than you started with, drawing people to her like a magnet. For the longest time, I never felt anyone was truly deserving of her love. Then came the summer of 2023, when our older sister Clare was getting married to her perfect match, Lucas. For months, they had been hinting about this mysterious best man—someone they insisted was a "perfect match" for Rose. Rose, ever the realist, brushed it off with a smile, saying it would be fun if it worked out, but she wasn’t sure. One afternoon, as we were driving home from school, she told me she’d found a song by Benson Boone called Before You. With a sparkle in her eyes, she confessed that she couldn’t help but think about meeting Vitor when she listened to it. He was flying in from Brazil and wouldn’t make it in time for the rehearsal dinner, so the big introduction would happen on the wedding day. The morning of Clare’s wedding, as we were getting ready, Rose turned to me and said, “Emma, what if I meet my husband today?” The light in her eyes was undeniable, and in that moment, I could only hope for her dream to come true. At the church, as the bridesmaids’ processional music began to play, Rose met Vitor for the first time. It was like love at first sight. Their connection was immediate, so much so that everyone around them could feel it. They walked down the aisle together as if they had known each other forever. That day, they were inseparable. I had never seen Rose smile or laugh as much as she did with Vitor—and that’s saying a lot. He attended to her every need, listening intently to every word she said. Later, we learned that he wasn’t naturally extroverted, but he knew he couldn’t fumble his chance with her. The very next day, they started dating. I remember thinking it was all a bit fast, but Vitor was determined to show his commitment. Even though he was attending school in Rochester, NY, he made a promise to see her every two weeks by train—and he kept every single promise he made to her. Watching their love grow was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever witnessed. Vitor cherishes every part of who Rose is. Somehow, he’s not only worthy of her love but multiplies it. He loves her with his whole being, embracing her family as part of that love. On April 26, 2024, he proposed to her, using the very song that first made her think of him—Before You. For the first time, I saw Vitor, usually so calm and collected, nervously pouring his heart out. Now, here we are, celebrating their love together. Their story is nothing short of a fairy tale, and I couldn’t be happier for my sister and her perfect match.
