Our love story began with a connection due to mutual friends and a spontaneous message on Instagram DMs, eventually leading to an unforgettable first date lasting nearly six hours. As we laughed, shared stories, and discovered our shared love for our Catholic faith, it felt like boxes were checked off like never before. A year later, we are engaged and on the brink of marriage. With hearts full of joy and anticipation, we eagerly await the day we say “I do,” knowing that our journey together has only just begun.
