Sunshine and warm weather has always brightened our spirits and the summer of 2009 was no different. Our hearts radiated and our love story began. As part of a scholarship program, we met once per week to prepare for college. Not only did we work on our academic strengths (Ronald's weakness) but also our social-emotional skills. This allowed for flirtatious banter to flow freely...and it sure did! Ronald is introverted and Tiffany's happy-go-lucky personality intimidated him. Despite this, before the summer set and we headed off to college, Ronald built up enough courage to ask Tiffany out on a date to a Japanese restaurant (though she drove and paid!). We quickly realized that despite our distinct cultural and geographical upbringing, we shared so much in common (e.g. eating good food and singing along to Drake songs during car rides). Only a few weeks into Freshmen year went by before we made it "Facebook official!" Our naive teenage souls promised not to let our relationship hinder each other's dreams and aspirations but to support each other and figure things out later. Back then, it felt like a bold promise but it was rooted in trust and commitment. 10 years worth of love and friendship later, we recognize that at the core of those dreams and aspirations is our desire to be together, forever! We are currently living out those dreams: succeeding in our respective careers, traveling across the globe, and finally putting our love and commitment on display...on a summer afternoon!
