we're getting married!

Anthony and I connected in an unexpected twist of fate on "CoffeeMeetsBagel," during a light-hearted social experiment I embarked on with my best friend, Aileene. It wasn't serious—at least, that was the plan. But among the flurry of digital introductions, Anthony's message captivated me with its playful charm, centered around a whimsical giraffe-themed pick-up line. He was humorously dubbed Experiment 626, yet unbeknownst to us, this marked the beginning of a magical journey together. Our first meeting was truly magical, set against the peaceful setting of Clear Lake Park. Anthony prepared a thoughtful picnic, complete with mimosas and a beautiful bouquet of my favorite flowers—carefully avoiding roses. As we talked beside the calming waters, our connection was undeniable, as if we had known each other forever. That day, I walked away with my heart unexpectedly captivated by him. Now, four years later, our love has only grown deeper and richer. As we prepare to embark on this new chapter together, we hold dear the whimsical beginnings that brought us to this moment. Here's the charming line that started it all: "If I was a giraffe and you were a giraffe, I would slap my neck across 1000 other giraffes to show dominance in the herd and make you my majestic giraffe queen" - Anthony Tran
