Today I get to share with you one the cutest love stories that Marry Me Ink has received this year from Marianne Chua Photography. (I may have said “Awwww!” out loud reading it)

We were best friends for a few years before we had even considered each other in any other way. We worked together in the same company – I was the photographer & Videographer and he is the Web Programmer. We ended up working together a bit, and we spent a lot of time together, at work and off.

We had a mutual friend in Texas, and while I was on vacation there, she asked me what I thought about him. I had never really thought about anything, and would simply be with him and have fun. After she asked me that, I really took a look at what we had together and didn’t realize what an incredible relationship we had as friends and how he made me feel, until I really looked back at it and realized that he was everything I had ever wanted in a guy.

We are so open with each other, it was impossible for me to keep it to myself. I ended up writing a letter to him, because I felt like if I told him about it in person I would spontaneously combust. I basically poured out my feelings on that piece of paper, and expected for the worst. We got together that night and decided to talk about it, and he decided to tell me a few things from his own end.

Apparently he had been interested in the very beginning when we first met, but he kept losing his opportunities when I would go chasing after a guy or getting into a relationship. We both had a very deep conversation that ended up going into the wee hours of the night. He had told me that I was his favourite girl and his best friend, and really opened up to me like he never had before. I had to keep pinching myself, because I felt like I was reading one of those novels where everything goes exactly how you want it to. Funny enough, by the end of the night we decided not to take that route with each other because we both treasured the friendship we had, and we didn’t want to ruin it.

After opening up about our feelings, we couldn’t help but feel an extra spark between us that had come to life and it was extremely distracting. Finally one night, past midnight we went up to the roof of a building and were talking about some personal things in our lives and just confiding in each other, kind of back to the normal with each other. I then couldn’t help but think about how incredibly romantic it would be to kiss him on the rooftop under the moon and clouds. When it got to late, we started walking back to go downstairs, and I couldn’t help but feel so disappointed. I decided, we were really meant to be friends, and I shouldn’t try to turn it into something else.

We started going down this stairwell, with him walking in front of me, and after a few flights, he stopped at one of the landings and turned around. I was actually confused and thought he forgot something upstairs, but then he was just looking at me. I was so close to him, I couldn’t help but feel uncertain of what I should do and what was happening. And then after a second, he pulled me into him and kissed me. I swear that moment was magical, because in that first kiss, I felt like I lived an eternity and yet time didn’t exist, and the universe around me quieted and disappeared, and there was no such thing as anything else…and that’s when it all began.
