On a warm summer night, July 9th, 2022, I was working at a lively club when I noticed him sitting at a table. With confidence, I walked right up and started a conversation that lasted all night. By the end of my shift, we had exchanged every bit of contact information possible and headed to Denny’s for a late-night meal. From that moment, we were inseparable. Just two weeks later, I moved in with him, and our bond only grew stronger as we faced life’s ups and downs.  So, about a month after that first meeting, on September 5th, 2022, he officially asked me to be his girlfriend, and of course, I said yes! Fast forward to December 25th, 2024—surrounded by family in a cozy cabin—he proposed, and here I am now, ready to spend forever together.
