With Love, Always

They met back in high school. Young, curious, and totally unaware that the person standing right in front of them would one day become their forever. At 15 & 16 years old, they made their first connection. While charisma and attraction were plentiful, much growing had to be done before their paths were ready to intertwine. A year later, fate gave them another chance. They went on a beach date, and something just felt different. There was a calmness, a certainty the kind of feeling people talk about but you never quite understand until it happens to you. When you know, you know. Kiki first noticed how gentle and funny Tommy was, the kind of person who made her feel safe without even trying. Tommy loved Kiki’s music taste and how giggly and full of life she was. We started spending almost every day together, and before we knew it, our days naturally blended into each other. Five years later growing up with each other, they got their first home. Not just a place to live, but a life where we’re truly best friends and each other’s comfort. The proposal was perfectly “us.” After renovating Kiki’s salon, Tommy told her he had one last surprise he had to prepare which meant she wasn’t allowed to go to the salon with him. He decorated it sweetly, creating a space filled with love and intention. After dinner, he brought her there, and in the place she poured her heart into, he asked her to marry him. And now, here they are still laughing, still choosing each other, and so excited to celebrate this next chapter with the people they love most.
