It all began on an ordinary day at university.

We both walked into class at separate times, from different directions, completely unaware that our lives were about to change.

Selena had chosen a seat along the center aisle, not thinking much of it. Moments later, Isaiah walked in and, without a word, sat right beside her.

No introduction, no small talk—just a quiet, fated kind of beginning.

Looking back, it felt like something bigger had placed us there. He was hoping to survive the class, and she was just there for a normal day. But from that one silent sit-down, a relationship blossomed.

Soon, we were studying together, playing video games after class, and laughing more than we ever expected. What started as a simple seat choice became the start of something extraordinary.

One night, at 3:00 a.m., we sat on a quiet bench on the 4th floor of the UTSA Library, lost in conversation about stars and observatories. It was one of those rare, timeless moments—just the two of us, dreaming under fluorescent lights about skies we had yet to see.

Isaiah shared that it had always been his dream to visit an observatory and stargaze beneath a sky untouched by city lights. So, we decided to make it happen.

In January of 2023, we set off on an adventure to Big Bend National Park—neither of us knowing quite what to expect. But when night fell, and the sky unveiled the Milky Way in all its glory, we stood in awe, hand in hand.

It was the first time either of us had seen the stars like that. And in that quiet, cosmic moment, it felt like the universe was celebrating with us. That night became one of our first and greatest shared milestones—the start of a love full of wonder and intention.
