Our Wedding

Invitation

Though both of us would have rather met in person and avoided the long distance we had for the first 2 years we were together- the odds of us meeting were very small. Out of millions of people that happened to be online that day, we ended up in a game together and we instantly knew we were meant to be. We were inseparable since that very moment, and our relationship began on 12.4.2021. Two years later, we finally met in person for the first time. Since then, we visited each other traveling the 800miles every few weeks. We finally got engaged on 6.22.2024. Through the years we have been through many tough times, but we have always persevered and made our relationship stronger. All of this has proven to us that our love is something we will both fight for forever.
