Once upon a time, many years ago, our paths crossed in the most unexpected of ways...

It all started over ten years ago when mutual friends brought us together. We were both in different places in our lives, casually mingling amidst laughter and shared stories. Little did we know, that brief encounter would plant the seeds of a beautiful connection that would only fully blossom years later.

After that initial meeting, life took us on separate journeys. We ventured into the world, pursuing our dreams, navigating the highs and lows, and carving out our individual paths. Yet, unbeknownst to us, fate had woven our destinies together, patiently waiting for the right moment to bring us back into each other's lives.

Fast forward to the present day, where technology collided with destiny. On a seemingly ordinary day, fate intervened once again as we swiped through profiles on a dating app called Tinder. And there, amidst a sea of faces, we found each other once more and swiped right.

As we embarked on this chance at love, it became evident that our reunion was no mere coincidence. With each conversation, laughter, and shared moment, we rediscovered the depth of our connection. It was as if the universe had conspired to bring us back together, reaffirming that some bonds are simply meant to be.

And so, against the backdrop of our shared history and the promise of a future filled with love, Stephen found himself on bended knee, asking for Joanna's hand in marriage. In that magical moment, surrounded by the echoes of our past and the dreams of tomorrow, she said yes, sealing our fate as soulmates destined to journey through life together.

As we stand on the precipice of forever, hand in hand, hearts entwined, we look forward to the adventures that await us. Together, we will navigate life's twists and turns, cherishing every moment, and embracing the beauty of our love story—a story that began with a chance encounter, endured the test of time, and blossomed into a love that is as timeless as it is true.

And so, dear friends and family, as we embark on this new chapter of our lives, we invite you to witness and celebrate the culmination of our love story—a story that was ten years in the making, but a lifetime in the telling.

With Love,

Joanna & Stephen
