In the summer of 2020, amidst the Hawaiian sun, our love story began. Despite the challenges of military life and a pandemic, our first date—a mix of Cheesecake Factory and impromptu beach adventures—ignited a spark that refused to fade. Our journey wasn't without its hurdles; breakups, distance, and personal growth shaped our path. But after a year apart, we found ourselves drawn back together, stronger and more determined than ever. Through trials and tribulations, we learned the true meaning of love—its ability to endure, to forgive, and to grow. As we stand on the precipice of forever, we carry with us the lessons learned and the love that has only deepened with time. Our story is one of resilience, of second chances, and of the unwavering belief that love, no matter the distance or the obstacles, will always find its way. And as we embark on this new chapter together, hand in hand, we do so with hearts full of hope and a love that knows no bounds.
