Hi there,

I'm Aliya, and I am so excited to share our love story with all of you.

Our story began at a work Christmas party, where we first locked eyes. Antoine immediately captured my attention with his kind smile and calm demeanor, and soon after, I found myself charmed by his humor. We were both intrigued and eager to learn more about each other.

Our first date felt magical as we spent hours talking, discovering more about each other, and realizing that we were falling in love with each passing moment. We quickly bonded over our shared passion for adventure and music, and before long, we became inseparable.

In 2022, we bought a home together, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and found ourselves falling for life on the farm. A year later, on Christmas Eve of 2023, Antoine proposed. With our dog wearing a bandana that read, "My Humans Are Getting Married," he asked me to spend forever by his side. It was a moment filled with excitement and joy, and of course, I said yes without hesitation.

We were so excited to start planning our future, but soon after, we faced one of the toughest challenges we've ever gone through together—the loss of Antoine's cousin Lucas, who was not only family but also our best friend. It was unimaginable to think about our wedding without him by our side. We knew we needed to take a step back and allow ourselves and our family time to grieve.

We all leaned on each other for support. We took each day as it came, and through it all, our bond grew even stronger. With Lucas in our hearts, we are finally ready to move forward and embrace this next chapter of our lives.

Our hopes for the future are simple: to experience life’s adventures together, cherish each moment, and grow old in love. We are incredibly grateful for the love and support we’ve received from all of you. We can’t wait to celebrate and hope you can all join us. Thank you for being part of our journey—we’ll see you soon!

With love,

Aliya & Antoine
