According to an old legend, an invisible red string ties us to the people we’re meant to meet. It stretches, tangles, and sometimes goes unnoticed, but it never breaks. Looking back, ours was there long before we noticed it. We didn’t meet in a single moment. For years, we kept almost meeting. We spent years in the same places without ever actually crossing paths. The same park as kids, the same schools, the same routines along the way. We even crossed paths once in Mexico about a decade ago. A quick hello, nothing more. Later on, we toured the same apartment without realizing it. It finally came together at Leo’s birthday, when Abu convinced Michelle to go. After years of near-misses, we ended up in the same place at the same time. And that was it. We got married privately on March 13th, and now we get to celebrate with all of you.
