Our Love  Story

We met online through a simple introduction from his cousin, who thought we’d have a special connection. What started as casual chats quickly grew into something deeper. As we shared our dreams, fears, and pasts, it became clear: this was more than just a friendship—it was love.


Even though we were miles apart, the bond we formed made the distance feel smaller. After some time, we took the leap into a long-distance relationship, knowing it wouldn’t be easy but feeling it was worth it. We kept in touch through video calls, messages, and the promise of future visits.


Every day, our connection grew stronger, and each goodbye made the next hello even sweeter. What began with a simple introduction blossomed into a love that defied distance and time. Now, we’re ready to take the next step—marriage—and start our forever together.
