Once you fall in love, millions of good things will start to come. Starting with something you already know (but this time it feels way more beautiful) to something that you've never realized it existed, yet it will amaze you day by day.

Being in the same cell group, Mike and Karina met at church. Mike found Karina beautiful and smart at the same time, Karina felt that Mike was mature and kind hearted. And they fell in love.

Sometimes a story does not need a grand entrance, and yet magnificent things start happening in the beginning. Although falling in love itself is something magical, the way you experience love every single day is what makes all the process amazing and worth while. So after a few dinner and tea time, Mike and Karina decided to see what love would bring to them. When actually, they’ve already given love a chance once they opened their heart.

I remember this touching story that they shared with us, and it melted my heart. Even I've never thought to do this kind of thing to my partner. 
When Karina celebrated her 25th birthday, Mike decided to give her presents. It wasn't a pair of running shoes, nor a bunch of jewelleries that most girls would probably want, but he decided to give her 25 different gifts. Starting from a simple hulla hop to a bear doll seatbelt cover. He put in a lot of thoughts to every single gift that he had prepared, and every gift had a personal meaning and story to Karina. Can you imagine Karina’s feeling when she received all those 25 gifts? They might not be an expensive or luxury thing, but you know that they were priceless !

So, as I said, love is not only about the grand entrances. But it is more about how it will decorate your life with many beautiful things that you will experience. And a lot of the times, it will amaze you because you never realized that you have such precious thing.

Now, they are busy preparing for their wedding next month, and this is the kind of wedding that we have been waiting for. We are so excited about this wedding! The same excitement as theirs.

Best
