Our Love Story

In the quiet neighborhood where they both grew up, a simple “hello” marked the beginning of something neither of them could foresee. It was 2000, and they were just kids—neighbors who soon became classmates in grade school. They shared pencils, laughter, and the carefree days of childhood. But as time passed, life took them to different schools, and their paths diverged.


Yet, every year without fail, Paulo would send Sham a birthday greeting, a Christmas wish, and a New Year's message. To Sham, it was just a friendly gesture, nothing out of the ordinary. Paulo was always there, like a comforting presence in the background, but she never thought much of it. Life went on, and they both grew up, attending the same college but still living in their own worlds.


Then, in 2018, something shifted. Paulo asked Sham out on a date—out of the blue, or so it seemed to her. Curiosity mixed with a sense of comfort led her to say yes. As they sat across from each other, reminiscing about the days when they were just kids, something clicked. The familiar ease was still there, but now, it was wrapped in something deeper, something that made her heart skip a beat.


That first date was just the beginning. Sham realized that those yearly greetings weren’t just routine; they were Paulo’s way of keeping a connection alive, of waiting for the right moment. And when that moment came, it was as if the years had been leading up to it all along.


Their relationship blossomed, built on the foundation of shared history and the new memories they began to create together. What started as a simple childhood friendship had grown into a love story, years in the making, waiting for the perfect time to unfold.


And then, one beautiful day, Paulo got down on one knee, the same boy Sham had known all those years but now a man she couldn’t imagine life without. With tears in her eyes and a heart full of love, she said yes. It was as if all the years of growing up, drifting apart, and finding their way back to each other had led to this moment—a promise to spend the rest of their lives together.


Now, they are planning their wedding, ready to embark on the next chapter of their love story. What began as a simple childhood connection has turned into a lifelong commitment, and soon, they will stand before their loved ones, promising to love, honor, and cherish each other forever.


Their story, woven with years of friendship, love, and serendipity, is a testament to the beauty of timing and the magic of a love that was always meant to be.
