We are getting married! (Finally)

The first time we met was brief, but was all the introduction we needed to give each other a chance. It all started with small trip to the beach with friends and family, in which, we were living through our first memories together, and we didn't even know it. We went on our first "real" date and Vee was introduced to pho, which would later become one of our regular late-night dates. From then on, we shared so many fond memories from craft nights to road trips, to Ghibli nights, to sharing our time with all of our friends and family. We began our first journey by adopting our very first cat, Ishie, and we would move into our first apartment together. We were young and in love, and still figuring life out. Like every relationship, things got rocky for us and it took us a whole 3 months to figure out we hated living without each other. Our past made us became a better team and in the long run, it united us and taught us so much about ourselves and our relationship. Now, after almost 9 years together, here we are with our 5 cats ready to start our next chapter to our new life as Mr. & Mrs. Hadeed.

Daniel had been planning this day way in advance. He had spent numerous hours customizing the ring all on his own, and it was perfect! It was a Tuesday morning, and we made a trip to the San Diego Zoo. The day started with lots of rain, but we still decided to make it an amazing day. And an Amazing day it was! By the end of the day, the rain had stopped, and we were at Vee's favorite spot (the Gorilla sanctuary right by the waterfall). Now, you can probably guess what was next.... and she said "YES!" Due to our faulty photographer HAHA, we did not get a video. However, this day was perfect despite all the rain, and we will cherish this moment forever!
