Our Wedding

The cute worker who took my pizza order later came over to my table and asked, “what was your name again?” Two days after that, I ran into him at the same dinner party—he sat in the empty seat beside me, made me unexpectedly nervous, and left a quiet, mysterious impression. What followed felt like a slow, subtle chase: he was looking for me, while I might have been just a little intentional about showing up at campus events, hoping we’d cross paths again. After months of near misses, quiet anticipation, and a bit of courage, he finally asked me out—the moment captured in that first photo, where he was clearly nervous… even if he won’t admit it.

Hello, my name is...

Several months later, as we got to know each other slowly but surely, he knew he wanted to ask me to be his girlfriend. After a friend’s wedding, he took me to Malibu. He had pretty pink roses waiting in the car along with some snacks for a plan to set up a picnic on the beach. We sat by the waves, just talking, until the tide suddenly rushed in and we ended up laughing, quickly gathering our things, slightly soaked.At the top of the hill, he handed me a letter, along with the butterfly necklace and matching earrings. I read it as the wind settled around us. “So I have to ask… will you be my girlfriend?” That night, he said "I love you" for the first time, and I said it right back. We both already knew how we felt, but saying “I love you” out loud for the first time still felt different.

"I love you..."

"will you marry me?"
