It all happened when I looked at her photo for the first time and couldn't help but be drawn to her smile. It was warm, inviting, and made me want to know more about the person behind it. I knew I had to message her. The conversation started off easy—we quickly realized we had a lot in common. We spent hours chatting about everything from our favorite movies to our dreams for the future. What struck me the most was how comfortable and natural it felt, as if we had known each other for much longer than just a few days. After a while, we decided to meet in person. When we finally did, it felt like the start of something special. There was an instant connection, and I couldn’t help but smile back at her—the same smile that had caught my eye in the first place. It was the beginning of something I knew I never wanted to end.

We decided to go to a pottery class. Little did I know, I would walk out with not just a clay masterpiece, but a memory that would stay with me forever. I might have gotten my clothes covered in mud and clay, but every second of it was worth it. The laughter, the playful mess, the way she looked at me with that same smile I’d fallen for—it all made the day unforgettable. We had so much fun, and in that moment, I knew we were creating something special, just like the pottery we were making together.

On July 7, 2024, at exactly 11:11 AM, we got engaged. The moment couldn’t have been more perfect—everything felt aligned, just like the numbers on the clock. I had no doubt that I was about to spend the rest of my life with the person who makes me smile every day.

Our first zip lining adventure. It was my first time, and I’ll never forget the mix of nerves and excitement as I got strapped in. But there was no one else I’d rather have by my side. As we soared through the trees together, the experience was nothing short of amazing. Laughing, screaming, and holding on tight—every second felt thrilling, just like our journey together.

Finally, after months of dreaming and planning, we decided on our marriage date. The excitement was contagious as we picked a day that would forever mark the beginning of our next adventure together. From that moment on, everything felt even more real—this was really happening, and we couldn’t wait for the day we’d say “I do.”
