In the intricate mosaic of our love story, the first tile was laid in 2016 on the canvas of Instagram. Sharmic, captivated by the pixels that reflected Calvin’s essence, left a comment beneath one of his pictures. Yet, as every love story has its twists, ours unfolds with two perspectives. Sharmic insists Calvin flooded his notifications, while Calvin claims innocence, citing a hacking incident. Regardless of the differing narratives, God had a plan much greater—a quirky start to a tale destined to be extraordinary. From the comment section, our story evolved into a dialogue of direct messages, shifting seamlessly to Snapchat. In the realm of disappearing messages and candid snaps, our connection deepened, revealing the shared laughter, dreams, and quirks that would become the foundation of our love. And so, each day, we talked on the phone from dawn till the stars adorned the night sky, our voices danced through the phone lines. The routine was simple but profound—every evening, as the world outside hushed into a tranquil melody, we embarked on a journey of connection, transcending the digital boundaries that brought us together. The transition from virtual to reality was inevitable. When our eyes met for the first time, it was as if the universe harmonized with the timeless notes of "At Last" by Etta James—a melody that encapsulated the magic of love at first sight. As our worlds collided, we found ourselves immersed in a whirlwind of dates, each one a chapter in our unfolding love story. From the nervous excitement of the first date to the comfortable rhythm of shared laughter and conversation, we discovered the joy of discovering a kindred spirit. The places we visited and the experiences we shared became the backdrop to our love story—a mosaic of memories that painted our journey with vibrant colors. Despite a brief hiatus in 2017, where we decided to part ways, the invisible thread that bound us never frayed. Far from being a conclusion, this chapter became a pivotal moment that allowed us to embark on individual journeys of self-discovery and growth. During this time, we recognized the importance of nurturing ourselves as individuals and dove into the depths of our own passions, dreams, and personal aspirations. This became a transformative period, allowing us to blossom independently, like two flowers soaking up the sunlight before intertwining once more. In 2021, destiny intervened again when Calvin chose to make Atlanta his new home. Shortly after, Sharmic followed suit, reigniting the flame of our connection and aligning our paths once more. We developed an inviolable relational dynamic, now carrying the understanding that love, like a fine thread, can withstand tension and pressure, emerging even stronger on the other side. July of 2022 marked a pinnacle in our journey—engagement amidst the tropical paradise of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. With the promise of forever sealed, we embraced a new chapter, now living life together in Atlanta alongside our fur baby, Paris. As we prepare to say 'I do,' we invite you to share in the celebration of a love story that has weathered the complexities of time and distance, only to emerge stronger, more resilient, and ready for a lifetime of shared adventures. See you in ATL!
