How they met

Over time, his warm, friendly nature found its way to my heart, and our endearing friendship turned into a relationship. After a year and a half of dating, on his birthday trip to Burj Khalifa, he popped the question with the most romantic proposal I could have ever imagined. Needless to say, my answer was yes!”
