--- Setting the scene: It was the Spring quarter of 2014 at Seattle Pacific University when Alwyn and Thu's paths converged. Alwyn, engrossed in his studies in the lobby of Eaton Hall, the science building, found himself approached by two women. They inquired if he was in their bio-chem class, to which Alwyn, somewhat caught off guard, responded, "Yes, I am. Why?" One of the girls, Thu, playfully mentioned she'd heard he was smart and wondered if he could lend a hand with her homework. Little did they know, this chance encounter would set the stage for a remarkable journey that would span a decade. For the next year, Alwyn and Thu grew closer, their friendship deepening with each passing day. They embarked on countless spontaneous adventures, from late-night deli runs at Safeway on Queen Anne to soaking in the stunning Seattle skyline from Kerry Park, all while savoring their favorite Molly Moon's ice cream. Alwyn and Thu shared numerous classes as they pursued their nursing degrees, often spotted together on campus. Amidst discussing assignments (or comparing answers, depending on who you ask), they shared their dreams, aspirations, and deepest thoughts, finding solace and joy in each other's company. Their bond evolved into something more profound as they navigated the highs and lows of college life together, their connection growing stronger with each shared experience. Fast forward to today, and here we are, celebrating a decade of laughter, love, and cherished memories. This year marks the 10th anniversary of our friendship and the 9th year of our enduring relationship. From college acquaintances to soulmates, we've weathered storms and reveled in triumphs together, emerging stronger and more united with each passing year. And then, on a summer evening in Marseille, France, with the sun setting over the Mediterranean Sea, Alwyn knelt before Thu. With the beauty of the pastel alleyways of Marseille as their backdrop and the gentle breeze carrying whispers of their love, he professed his undying love and asked Thu to be his forever. With tears of joy and overwhelming emotion, Thu said yes, sealing their love in the heart of the vibrant city. As we embark on this next chapter, we carry the love and memories of the past decade, eager for the adventures that lie ahead. With all our love, Alwyn and Thu, Written with assistant by ChatGPT. --- P.S We can't wait to see all of our beloved guests at the wedding, ready to celebrate the love that has brought us together and the journey that lies ahead!
