A Love Story That Stood the Test of Time

It all started with a simple message. In 2015, a notification popped up—Mark send a message on Facebook. It was nothing extraordinary at first, just casual conversations on Messenger. But as days turned into weeks, the messages became longer, the calls became more frequent, and before they knew it, something special was blossoming.

By May 18, 2015, they officially became a couple. Their first date came not long after. It was simple but meaningful, a quiet yet profound moment that sealed their connection.

Of course, like any love story, theirs was not without challenges. There were fights, misunderstandings—times when they thought it was over. But their love always found a way back. Even when they separated for a week or two, it never lasted. they Always found their way back to each other.

Years passed, and their love only grew stronger. Then came the big moment—May 18, 2024—the day they promised forever with an engagement. And now, they eagerly await May 3, 2025, the day they will stand before family, friends, and God to finally say, “I do.”

A love that started with a simple chat is now turning into a lifetime commitment—proof that sometimes, the best things in life begin in the most unexpected ways

I have found the One whom my Soul Loves.
