OUR STORY
IT WAS A "BUMBLE" LOVE STORY
Him: After coming off of two failed relationships, I tried Bumble for the first time. I thought to myself, "I've never really played around, so why not this time."
I've already talked to a few and was met with two matches when I stumbled upon "Mimi". That ended my Bumble journey.
I never thought my Bumble journey would be short-lived but I don't regret any of it. Because now, the only person I met in Bumble is the only person I want to meet walking down the aisle this 4.24.24.
Her: Dating apps are not really my thing, creating my profile was just a playful suggestion from my sister. But I am so glad I played along.
I was already talking to a few different people just to pass the time, and I did not have any intention on meeting anyone in person, I thought they were just harmless interactions online...but then, with Ian, he was different.
He asked for my sibling’s permission before coming to our house and asked for my parent’s consent to take me out to dinner. He even agreed to have our first date with my siblings as my chaperones (yes, even at 26 years old! HAHA). He proved to me that Chivalry is not dead.
KNOWING THE RIGHT LOVE AT THE RIGHT TIME
Him: I've always treated relationships as a commitment for a lifetime but with Mirah I saw my lifetime that is why I am committed. We both help each other grow into the best version of ourselves.
At first, everything was unexplainable, I knew that I wanted to be with her but couldn't give a reason why. As we furthered down our relationship, I got affirmations and explanations to what was unexplainable; her love and commitment to me.
Her: As fast as it seemed, I felt a different connection with him. As I always do I entrust everything to God’s plan. I asked for difficult signs to really affirm they are from God.
And with him, I saw all signs proving that the guy in front of me was the guy God wants me to be with for the rest of my life. Until now I am still in awe whenever I am around him.
SEEING "US" THROUGH LIFETIME & BEYOND
Him: I knew Mirah is the one I want to be with throughout my lifetime because despite all of the challenges that we have been through-and I know we will go through-"quitting” or “leaving” the relationship will never be an option.
I am certain that more than the love that we have towards each other, we are both committed in making sure that our relationship will last.
She is is the love of my life and I commit my life to her and with her.
Her: I know and feel that Ian is "the one" because for the first time in my life I feel peace.
I do not need to compete with anything, I do not need to change, learned that my insecurities can be turned into strength, and most especially I do not need to ask anything because before I even do he already gives.
This is the only time that I can feel like I can be myself, he helped me become the best version of myself. Ian is God’s sweetest blessing.
