Some love stories begin at first sight, others on a blind date. Ours? Ours was written by destiny (cue the “awwwww”).


It all started in a Finance class at California State University, Long Beach. On that day, our instructor asked everyone to introduce themselves and share a bit about their lives. Amid the buzz of introductions, we discovered we not only shared the same classroom but also worked at the same company.


From that day forward, we began a great friendship—both at work and on campus. What started as casual conversations quickly turned into a friendship fueled by shared humor and endless sarcasm.


For years, that friendship grew, steady and unwavering, until one day, fate decided it was time for more.


One evening, he took a deep breath and asked her on a date. Just one date was all it took. In that single moment, we both knew—we wanted to be more than just friends. What followed was a love that felt effortless yet thrilling, like finding the missing piece you didn’t even know you were searching for.


With every date, every late-night conversation, and every adventure, our love deepened. He brought out in her a sense of adventure she had always longed to explore—a world of spontaneity and wonder. She, in turn, brought him peace and joy, a grounding presence that made him believe in the beauty of simply being together.


Our relationship became a dance of balance: laughter and tenderness, excitement and calm. Together, we discovered a love for family, a passion for shared adventures, and a vision of building a life filled with memories to cherish.


Now, we find ourselves here, ready to begin the next chapter of this story. Surrounded by the love of our family and friends—those who have helped us write so many beautiful pages so far—we can’t wait to share the rest of our journey. This story isn’t just ours; it’s a celebration of everyone who’s been part of it. And as we look to the future, we know the best is yet to come.
