For my Hiwote

Happy Birthday, Hiwote.
This is our story.

This domain is yours. You are my angel, and I am the luckiest man alive.

Parma

The Day We Met

I saw you first at the church program in Parma. You were standing with friends, and I thought I was seeing an angel. You were everything I had imagined — the textbook definition of my type. From that moment, I knew you were different.

A New Chapter

The Day We Became Lovers

Our deep talks showed me who you really were. Your personality, your beauty, your heart — I knew you were the one. That day I asked you to be my girlfriend, and you said yes. We stood in front of your house and talked for three hours straight. It remains our favorite moment.

Verona

The Proposal

I took you to Verona — the city of Romeo and Juliet, where love itself was born in legend. Standing in the Arena, my heart raced like never before. I was so nervous asking you the question, but seeing you so happy made everything perfect. That day you said yes again, and my heart was complete.

Shimgilina

Asking for Your Hand

When I sent elders to your house to ask your parents for your hand. I was worried about making it perfect. My family made it perfect. Everything was perfect. But most importantly, you looked perfect that day.

Our Wedding

The Day You Became My Wife

We gave our vows in church, in front of God. Everyone was happy, but nothing mattered more than this: that day I secured you, and I promised to love you forever.

Moments With You

Every moment with you is a gift I never take for granted. These are the snapshots of a love I will carry with me, always.
