It all began in the year of 2020, a time when the world was grappling with uncertainty, but love found a way. Erica, casually scrolling through her social media, noticed Fernando’s profile. Something about him caught her eye—maybe it was his smile or the way he carried himself in his pictures. She couldn’t resist, so she slipped into his DMs, wishing him a happy birthday. She thought he was kinda cute, and as she hit send, little did she know, she was about to begin a beautiful chapter of her life. The world may have been shut down, but their story was just opening up. Amidst the chaos of the COVID era, Fernando found the one restaurant still open, and they sat outside, sipping wine beneath a blanket of stars. The cool night air, the flicker of candlelight, and the sound of their voices—everything felt right. Erica knew in that moment, as their eyes locked, that there was something undeniable between them. The connection was electric, and they both knew it. And then there was one more thing they shared—a love for French Bulldogs. Fernando’s black Frenchie, Stitch, and Erica’s white Frenchie, Staussi, became the unspoken bond that solidified their growing connection. . Over the years, just like any love story, there were moments of joy and challenges. But through it all, they only grew closer. The tough times only proved that they were meant to be, and no obstacle was too big for their love. Their bond became unbreakable, solidifying the truth—they were meant for one another, destined to be soulmates. Their travels together painted the world in the colors of their love. They roamed international cities, creating memories that would last forever. But one trip stood out above the rest. It was New Year’s Eve in Brazil, Fernando’s birth country, and they were on the beach, participating in the tradition of jumping over the ocean’s waves to bring good luck for the coming year. As they felt the warm rain on their skin and laughed, the magic of the moment was undeniable. And then, as the rain soaked their faces, Erica turned around to see Fernando, down on one knee, holding a ring. The world seemed to stop in that moment as she realized, in her heart, what was happening. It was a proposal unlike any other—spontaneous, romantic, and full of love. That moment was the culmination of years of love, friendship, and connection. The bond they share is more than just a relationship—it’s a soul-deep connection, one that defies time and circumstance. Fernando and Erica are more than partners; they are each other’s destiny, and their love story is proof that when two people are meant to be together, nothing can stand in their way. Their love is the kind of love that comes once in a lifetime, and together, they are truly soulmates.
