We first met in fifth grade, living just four blocks away from each other. We saw each other often—shared classes, mutual friends, and played together in the neighborhood. But back then, neither of us could have guessed what was in store. For years, we lived our own lives, it wasn’t until almost 2 years ago, that everything fell into place. What started as two old friends catching up turned into something we hadn’t expected but had somehow always been there, waiting for the right time. Now, as we prepare to spend our lives together, it feels like all those years were leading us exactly here. From classrooms to reconnecting, our story has been slowly unfolding, and we finally found what we didn’t know we were missing all along—each other. And this is just the beginning.
