Some love stories take time to unfold - ours began at the age of 12 when we first met. Years later, at 17, our paths crossed again in high school, and we shared a sweet but fleeting chapter of young love. Life took us in different directions, but at 25, fate brought us back together. What started as a simple reconnection quickly became something undeniable. Within months, we knew this time was different - this time, it was forever. A year later, he proposed, and I said YES! Now, we're beginning the most beautiful chapter yet - side by side.
