Our Love Story

Her Perspective

The Beginning

"He was my senior back in secondary school, he was quiet, gentle, and always impeccably neat. Even from a distance, you could spot his crisp “gators” before you saw his face, Lol.

Years later, in 2017, we crossed paths at my workplace, Omegatron. We fell into easy conversation, and he joked, “I’m gonna marry you, las las,” and we both laughed.

Fast‑forward to a sunny afternoon in 2022 when Baba slipped into my DM and asked if I was married. I said no, and from that moment the story turned into something beautiful. Getting to know you, loving you, has been an adventure I cherish every day. Your calm, steady presence is something I strive to mirror.

Thank you for being my peace in the storm. I love you now and always, my Minnesota 🌟🥰"

His Perspective

The Journey

"We’ve known each other since high school, but we weren’t friends. In 2022 I slipped into the comment session and asked if she was married, and when she said “no,” I blurted, “I’m gonna marry you.” She laughed, thinking it was a joke.

A few weeks later we had our first date, and from that moment I knew she was the one. Her calm, neat, and gentle vibe grabbed me and never let go. Since then, every day with you has been a beautiful mix of friendship and something deeper, something I cherish more than words can capture.

I’m grateful for the journey that started with a comment and turned into a love story I’m excited to keep striving and going strong together. Forever yours. ❤"
