Send it to someone whoâd do this for youâ¤ď¸ And save this if you believe in keeping promises. đ¤
10 years ago, on the day we met, Aiyush told me heâd make me his wife one day. I laughed. It felt like something people say, not something people mean.
Fast forward a decade - through years of long distance, through hard stretches that test whether two people are actually going to make it - we were finally planning our wedding. The date was set. Everything was already in motion.
And in the middle of all that chaos, he decided he wasnât done keeping that promise properly.
He planned an entire day in secret - a barn, decor, a photographer, all of it - while telling me it was simply a one day pre-wedding shoot. I had no idea. By evening, I started to sense something was different, and I let myself feel it instead of naming it.
And then he said it again. The same words from ten years before. This time, I didnât laugh.
I know how it might sound - a proposal after the wedding was already planned. But this was never about a formal âyes.â This was about making sure that somewhere in the middle of ten years, long distance, and a wedding that had taken over both our lives, there was still a moment that was just ours.
Iâll always remember the wedding. But this is the day I actually replay.
