Where Our Love Began

From Childhood Best Friends to Husband and Wife

Their journey first began at the flourishing age of twelve, when both the young lovers had been placed in the same seventh grade English class. Love at first sight may not have been the way their first encounter had been perceived, but it for sure left a lasting impression that brought forth their beautiful journey. We all know how we dreaded introduction day, and the repetitive icebreaker games that our teachers made us play to get a small glimpse of who we were as developing individuals, not that they ever cared, but it was for… well… just that. Breaking the ice. The group of students had been instructed to say their name and give a few details about something they enjoyed. Food, music, hobbies, and sports were some of the more common responses, but the lovely Miss Martinez shared her passion about animals, dogs to be more specific. When it came time for the Aiello boy in the back of the class to share, he took a different approach to the question. And like every… prepubescent male… went for exactly what was on his mind. “My name is Sammy Aiello, and I like girls!” Saying it loud and proud for the rest of the room to get on earful of comedic attempt to lighten the mood. Most of the children were amused, but Kimberly was not a fan of his overzealous approach to being the class clown. Little did they both know, that he meant only one girl, and that same tenacious humor would win her over on the days where everything needed a bit more laughter. Over their early years, they went from classmates, to acquaintances, to best friends, to lovers. They journeyed through the roads of self discovery, and even when their paths took them in different directions, side by side they remained to help each other over every obstacle they faced. Even through the distance that was presented to them, they found a way to make it work. Although it was the hardest thing they had to encounter, they made it through, because nothing was harder than being without the love that they both had for one another. With college being over, the soulmates were finally able to be reunited under the same roof. That love they share is spread to everyone that crosses their path, and it couldn’t be more obvious that what they have is something that wars have been started over. It is fate that brought them together, but the decision to fight every day for one another is what keeps them going through the adventure we know as life. They have found a home within their combined souls, and with marriage, they have united two families as one. Both of them are so thankful they are able to share that with all the people who have always supported them over the years, and can’t wait to see where the world takes them next.
