Once upon a time, two souls named Mary Cris and Matt found each other in the most unexpected way. It all began when they crossed paths on an online platform, drawn together by the invisible threads of fate.

Their connection ignited through countless messages and calls, day after day. As the sun set and rose again, their bond deepened. Seven months of laughter, shared dreams, and whispered secrets created a foundation that neither of them could ignore. Matt, residing in Arkansas, and Mary Cris, living in sunny California, felt an inexplicable connection that transcended the physical distance between them.

One day, Matt couldn't resist the pull of his heart any longer. Fueled by a desire to turn their virtual world into a tangible reality, he decided to take a leap of faith. Booking a flight to California, he set out on a journey to meet Mary Cris face to face for the first time.

The moment their eyes met at the airport was magical. The nervous excitement melted away as they embraced, realizing that the chemistry they felt online was even more potent in person. The visit was a whirlwind of shared laughter, exploration, and stolen glances that spoke volumes.

When the time came for Matt to return to Arkansas, both hearts were heavy with the ache of separation. However, rather than letting the distance break them, Matt and Mary Cris chose to nurture their connection, proving that love can endure across miles and time zones.

For two more years, they persevered through the challenges of a long-distance relationship. Video calls, handwritten letters, and the occasional travel kept their love alive. Mary Cris, driven by a desire for personal growth and education, seized an opportunity to move to Arkansas and bring her closer to the love of her life.

Living together in Arkansas, their love flourished under the same roof. Matt knew that the time had come to take the next step. On a beautiful evening on May 22, 2023, he knelt down on one knee, a glimmering ring in hand, and asked Mary Cris the most important question of his life. With tears of joy in her eyes, Mary Cris excitedly said yes, sealing their commitment to a lifetime of love.

As the days turn into months, the engaged couple are now eagerly counting down to May 31, 2024 – the day they will exchange vows and become husband and wife. Their journey, from a chance online encounter to a deep and abiding love, had shaped them into the perfect partners for each other. With hearts full of anticipation, Matt and Mary Cris look forward to the day when they could officially call each other husband and wife, ready to embark on the next chapter of their enchanting love story.
