Our Love Story

Once upon a time, in the summer of 2015, fate brought Maria and Paolo together. Introduced through Facebook by a mutual friend, they began as two strangers connected by chance but soon, conversations turned into comfort, and comfort turned into something deeper.


Not long after, Paolo had to leave for the United States for work. Even with the distance, their bond never faded. They talked constantly, like two friends who never ran out of things to share.


When Paolo came back home, they finally met in person. Still, love took its time. It wasn’t until April 1, 2016, Yes, on April Fools’ Day that their friendship blossomed into an official relationship. What seemed like a playful day for the world turned out to be the beginning of something real, genuine, and lasting.


Their journey was far from easy. Their relationship was truly “against all odds.” Paolo’s life in the military brought challenges that demanded strength and sacrifice. For Maria, loving someone in uniform meant patience, courage, and faith because a relationship with a soldier is never for the faint of heart.


But destiny always had a plan. Through every challenge, every distance, and every test, their love only grew stronger.


And now, after years of holding on, growing, and proving that love conquers all, Maria and Paolo are ready to begin their greatest adventure yet… a lifetime together as husband and wife.
