**His Perspective** Our first meeting was awkward. I overthought the greeting and landed somewhere between a handshake and a hug. Not exactly smooth. But once we started spending time together, she made everything feel easy. What started as simple coffee dates quickly became the best part of my day. Our time together turned into a mix of planned and spontaneous adventures, comedy shows, dive bars and "cutesy" bars, random hikes. I’ve always been a big-picture person, but Vanessa showed me how to appreciate the moments along the way. The way she plans and brings ideas to life is something I really admire. **Her Perspective** When we first met I could tell right away he had no idea how to greet me, and somehow chose the most awkward option possible, but it was genuine and kind of endearing. What started as a few nervous dates quickly became something more. Spending time together felt easy, and before long, I was finding any excuse to see him. I’m someone who likes a plan, but he showed me the best moments don’t always come from one. Saying yes to the unexpected turned out to be better than anything I could’ve planned; and it led to me saying yes to him on March 29, 2026, a yes I’d choose again every time. **Our Story** Looking back, it’s funny how it started. What began with an awkward hello turned into something steady and real. We grew into saying yes; to spontaneous plans, late nights, and small moments that ended up meaning the most. Somewhere along the way, we became partners in all of it. Now, we get to keep building that life together, and that’s the best part. We are more than excited to share this day with you where we will choose each other as partners in life and promise to keep choosing each other for the rest of our lives. V&C
