Our Love Story

Once upon a time, in the bustling campus of UCLA, two souls met, brought together by the playful matchmaking skills of their friends. This was the beginning of a love story between Andrew, an aspiring engineer, and Michelle, a future pharmacist, who were seemingly different, yet so similar.
Their first encounter wasn't at a party or a romantic dinner, but at a "study" date. Amidst textbooks, equations, and countless notes, a spark was lit. This spark, though subtle, was the kind that ignited a fire, the kind that lasts a lifetime. As Andrew delved into the intricate world of engineering and Michelle into the complex realm of pharmacology, they found a common ground: a shared passion for learning, resilience in the face of challenges, and, above all, an unwavering support for each other.
Year after year, their bond grew stronger. From late-night study sessions to graduation, from first jobs to career advancements, they navigated life's twists and turns together. Their love story, which had begun on a bustling college campus, had blossomed into a shared journey of dreams, achievements, and endless laughter.
After ten years of love, friendship, and shared adventures, Andrew proposed to Michelle in the midst of the global pandemic. Despite the challenges of the time, or perhaps because of them, their commitment to each other became even clearer. It was a heartfelt proposal, filled with hope, dreams, and the promise of a beautiful future together.
Three years have passed since that memorable proposal, adding up to a total of thirteen wonderful years together. Now, they are embarking on a new journey, one they've been eagerly anticipating. The journey of marriage, of officially becoming a family, and further intertwining their lives in love and unity.
Many might say, "It's about time!" But for Michelle and Andrew, every moment leading up to this has been priceless. Their love story is a testament to the beauty of patience, of growth, and of love that stands the test of time. It's a story that reassures everyone that good things, indeed, are worth the wait.
As they look forward to their wedding day and the joy it signifies, Michelle and Andrew feel a deep sense of gratitude for their journey so far. It's been an incredible ride, and the best part? They know it's only the beginning...
