OUR LOVE STORY

Almost eight years ago, neither of them were looking for love but love has a funny way of showing up when it’s least expected. Tony first came across Sarai online. Something about her stood out: her energy, her presence, and without overthinking it, he added her on Instagram and Snapchat. Not long after, Sarai posted something about food, and Tony replied with a casual message. That simple interaction turned into an unexpected connection, sparking conversations that grew deeper with each passing day. For months, they talked laughing, opening up, sharing stories about life, relationships, and everything in between before they ever met in person. On August 4, 2017, Tony’s birthday, they saw each other for the first time. Sarai had promised him a cake and there she was waiting for him with a box in her hands with butterflies in her stomach. When he finally arrived, her heart raced but something about him felt familiar, like home. She saw someone who needed a little work but she also saw the one her heart had been waiting for. What makes their story even more special is how their paths had unknowingly crossed long before that first message. They attended the same elementary school, had the same best friends, shared the same lunch periods, even went to the same concerts yet they never truly saw each other until the time was right. Their journey hasn’t always been smooth, but their love has endured through every high and low. What started with a message about food grew into a connection built on laughter, growth, patience, and deep love. Their story is a reminder that timing is everything, and when two hearts are meant to be, they’ll always find their way to each other.
