July of 2021, Roni and Lucy began their journey of true friendship and unknowingly, a lifetime of love, though acquainted at their place of work about four years prior, they started to explore the connection that they held. At work one day, Lucys mother rolled up on a Segway like Paul Blart, Mall Cop after a tour. Lucy and Roni noticed each other from afar right away. Lucy was escaping the awkward presence of their tour guide, so they began chatting. That moment they agreed to chat further and begin their friendship. They ran (rolled) off into the distance with their segways before anyone could catch them. They haven’t stopped running off into the distance since. On August 15th of that year, Lucy’s birthday celebration was a camping trip for all of their friends. It ended up being just the two of them and a close friend. Their friend dropped the hint that they should make their way home because it was getting late but it was also obvious Roni and Lucy enjoyed spending time together. That night they stayed up listening to the rain, and sharing stories while trying to get some rest, but they couldn’t help but just enjoy their laughter and talking! Don’t worry nothing crazy happened! But they woke up with smiles on their faces and feelings in their hearts! They made it official later in October, the 21st (Roni was nervous to pop the question when he had gotten her flowers two weeks earlier hoping to make it official on Friday the 13th), but their spirits remained connected, and the time always felt right, so it didn’t matter to to them when he finally did. As time passed they shared memories, laughter, and love. They built a home together with the help of her father and some others, they got to know each other and spent holidays and memorable moments, and difficult times with each others presence and families. Before their move to Washington state, they planned their futures, and spent days, right down to the second talking about goals and a life together. They talked about a family of their own and imagined up a beautiful marriage. They made sure it was what they wanted in their hearts, so their hearts they followed. Roni took Lucy to the location of their first date, by a lake. Remembering the camping trip that has always spoke so loudly too them and who they are, he asked her to marry him with a ring that represents tranquility. Filled with moss agate, a stone Lucy had always fancied on the night of August 14th, 2022. As it held significance, a day to remember their night together a year prior. On 07- 13- 2023 (July), Lucy’s lucky number and Roni’s combined, she will wear peridot, for prosperity and good fortune, the birthstone of August, and Lucys birthstone, representing her, and a day they will always forever cherish.
