The Story
It all started back in 2016. We were just two coworkers, thrown together by chance, yet the connection felt destined. We worked together, side by side, navigating through the challenges of the job at DCF. But it wasn’t just the work we admired in each other—the way we approached life, our shared dedication, and our mutual respect for one another’s strengths. It was clear from the start that we had more than just professional respect. There was something deeper that was hard to ignore. Then, in 2019, life took us in different directions. I left the job, but the friendship we had built wasn’t something that could be easily left behind. Even though we weren’t working together anymore, we stayed in touch, checking in on each other, laughing about old inside jokes, and supporting one another through life’s ups and downs. But there came a point when we both realized: this wasn’t just a friendship. What we had was real, something that went beyond work, beyond convenience. It was love. And once we realized that, we knew we couldn’t part ways, no matter the distance. In 2021, we leaped, and what began as a strong friendship transformed into a beautiful, deep relationship. The connection that had grown so effortlessly over the years became the foundation of something even stronger. Now, here we are, preparing to take the next big step—getting married. We are a testament to the idea that sometimes, the best relationships start as friendships built on trust, admiration, and a shared journey. We may have met by chance, but staying together has been the most intentional, beautiful choice we've ever made.
