In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, our paths crossed in a serendipitous twist of fate. I, [Kiki], was trying to sell Bandoe's fancy dog-bed that he had rejected, when Jess slid into my Dms, searching for the perfect resting spot for her fluffy little pup, Ruou. Little did we know that this seemingly ordinary moment would be the start of an extraordinary journey together.

My first impression of Jess was a mix of curiosity and amusement. She embodied the spirit of a carefree American, and her tiny dog mirrored her laidback nature with chaotic energy. Yet, beneath her laid-back demeanor, I sensed a depth and complexity that intrigued me from the start. Meanwhile, Jess found my cautious approach to introducing our pups amusing, especially when her chaos dog seemed eager to bully mine.

From that initial meeting, our journey together has been nothing short of extraordinary. From road-tripping through the breathtaking landscapes of Vietnam to weathering the storm of a global pandemic that kept us apart for nine long months, we've faced challenges head-on and emerged stronger together. We've shared laughter and tears, triumphs and setbacks, weaving the threads of our lives into a tapestry of love and resilience.

What began as a friendship soon blossomed into something deeper. From sharing late-night conversations over bottles of whisky to taking the leap into cohabitation, every moment has solidified our bond. And on a day that began with a ring pop and ended with a real ring, we knew that we had found soulmates in each other.

Our love is built on a foundation of trust, communication, and unwavering support. As we stand on the precipice of a new chapter, we do so with hearts full of gratitude for the unexpected twists and turns that brought us together and the endless possibilities that lie ahead.
