Once upon a time, during our senior year at Syracuse University, fate wove the threads of our lives together. Eileen was visiting her guy friends at their new senior-year house, and Mark happened to be one of their new roommates. Little did we know, this chance meeting would set the stage for a love story that would last a lifetime.

Mark's initial impression of Eileen was captivating—her energy commanded attention in the crowded room. On the other hand, Eileen noticed the cute, sweet guy at the party who would soon become the most important person in her life.

Our first date was a delightful evening at Oishi Sushi, the local campus sushi spot. This is when Mark first learned Eileen's love for Kani Salad and Tobiko. As we shared our first meal together, we discovered the magic of our connection.

One of the early memorable moments in our journey was a spontaneous decision to ditch the noisy bar scene during a night out with friends. We chose to create our own dance party at Mark's place—a night that hinted at the joyous adventures that lay ahead.

Introducing each other to our families became a cherished milestone, strengthening the bonds of our love. Those moments of connection and shared laughter were the building blocks of our growing relationship.

Fast forward to a breathtaking evening at our favorite spot at South Street Seaport in NYC—the water gently lapping against the shore. Mark had spent months crafting the perfect plan for a proposal, shrouded in secrecy. The magical moment unfolded, despite the heavy rains of the day, nothing was going to deter this moment from taking place, we embraced the promise of forever.

Mark is drawn to Eileen's compassionate nature and her innate ability to care for others. Eileen, in turn, is enamored by Mark's caring spirit and his eagerness to bring happiness and comfort to his loved ones.

Our love story is a journey of chance encounters, shared laughter, and the unwavering commitment to each other's happiness. As we embark on this new chapter together, we are grateful for the love that has brought us to this moment—a love that will undoubtedly continue to flourish and create countless beautiful memories.

And so, our adventure begins...
