Our Love Story
In our final month of university, fate brought us together as flatmates. What began as a practical arrangement soon transformed into something magical. Shared laughter, late-night conversations, and unwavering support ignited an unexpected friendship that blossomed into love. As our university days drew to a close, we realized that our journey had only just begun. Together, we eagerly stepped into the future, from flatmates to best friends to life partners. Today, as we stand on the threshold of forever, we're filled with excitement to share the beginning of our lives with each and every one of you.
