It began 10 years ago when we were just friends. He had a crush on me, though I didn’t realize it back then. We had a brief fling—fun and exciting—but life pulled us apart. Even after breaking up, we stayed in touch, wishing each other on birthdays and chatting for hours whenever we crossed paths. Somehow, we always joked that if nothing else worked out, we’d marry each other. Five years ago, my life took a dark turn. A toxic relationship was draining me emotionally, and I felt lost. That’s when he stepped in—offering quiet support, listening, and helping me see my strength again. He was patient, kind, and exactly what I needed. As I healed, our bond deepened naturally, evolving into something much more than friendship. It wasn’t rushed; it just felt right, like it was always meant to be. Now, here we are, getting married on April 14th, 2025, completing our journey of love and friendship.
