LOVE STORY
In the heart of Monterey, California, our love story took root in January 2019 on the very first day of our arrival at the (DLI) Defense Language Institute. As linguists in training, we faced the arduous task of mastering Arabic and Chinese, two of the most challenging languages in the school's curriculum. Known locally as the "(DLI) Desperate Love Institute," this place was notorious for ill-fated student marriages, but we were determined to defy the odds.
Destiny played a hand in this tale, as it so often does. One the very second day of our arrival, as the sun dipped below the Monterey horizon, our roommates decided to gather for some camaraderie. Little did we know that this chance gathering would change the course of our lives forever. In an instant, our eyes met, and a connection sparked between us that was undeniable. It was as if the universe had woven its threads, connecting two kindred souls.
We came later to realize in just how tight the thread of destiny was, in fact chance that not only did we both join the Army firstly as the same MOS, but we both had then switched to the AIR FORCE after our contracts with the Army nulled, Then as we had two different shipping dates, chance had it that the brides ship date was pushed back a month, and the grooms was a sudden call up to ship of months earlier than supposed, Fate played her hand, and so it is so.
We were not oblivious to the warnings. The staff at DLI cautioned us against falling in love within these hallowed halls. They spun tales of heartbreak and cautioned against the allure of student marriages. But we were undeterred. Against all odds, we defied the prevailing skepticism, determined to craft a love story for the ages.
The journey that followed was nothing short of epic. Arabic and Chinese posed their challenges, yet we stood side by side, supporting one another through the linguistic labyrinth. We took the difficulties and transformed them into opportunities for growth and shared accomplishments.
For over five years, our love has defied expectations and transcended the boundaries of the "(DLI) Desperate Love Institute." Our journey is a testament to the power of love and commitment, and it has been both sweet and challenging, filled with exciting adventures and thoughtful gestures. We continue to pen our enchanting love story, knowing that true love can withstand any obstacle, just like in the most enduring of fables.
