OUR STORY
We met when the world was upside-down during COVID in 2020. Our paths had crossed a couple of times before, but the real magic happened at a friend’s birthday party. When I saw her putting up decorations, I decided that being tall comes with responsibilities and lifted her — she smiled big. I’ve been her go-to for everything kept on high shelves ever since.
Five years later, as we welcomed a long weekend, I pulled out a ring and asked her to marry me. She said “yes.” We celebrated quietly, then loudly — and now we are looking forward to celebrating with you.
P.S. Shout-out to Divya and Abdullah, you masterminds.
