Our Wedding

We met through a mutual friend at a cozy wine bar expecting nothing more than a fun evening of casual converstaion— and ended up finding an instant connection. We were both shocked (and a little impressed) to discover a shared knowledge in the field of fiber optics — not exactly known for being full of women — and he definitely scored points for how genuinely excited he was that I knew my stuff. I thought he was charming, cute, and easy to talk to, and after we completely lost track of time, we headed to dinner to keep the night going. By the end of the evening, the connection felt so natural that I casually invited him to join a Hawaii trip I had planned three months later… and the rest is history.
