This hopeless romantic finally got his happy ending!!

For decades, I’ve been fortunate enough to travel the world and chase my dreams. But through every adventure, I held onto one quiet hope.. that someday I’d find someone to share it all with.

Then I met Jye.

From our very first conversation, it felt as though we’d known each other our entire lives, like our hearts had simply been waiting to find one another. Loving him came so naturally, almost as if we were picking up where we’d left off in another lifetime.

120 floors above Seoul, South Korea, as the sun was setting, I got down on one knee and asked the most incredible man I’ve ever known to marry me. (Did I mention I’m terrified of heights and the floor was GLASS??) When he said yes, the world stood still, the fears were gone, and my soul was radiating!! In that moment, I realized I wasn’t just asking the love of my life to marry me.. I was asking my best friend to share every adventure, every hurdle, and every beautiful chapter still to come.

What makes Jye so extraordinary is the way he loves. His kindness, loyalty, and ability to make me smile effortlessly are only the beginning. (Also, I've never laughed so hard in my life!) He makes me feel safe enough to be completely and fully myself. Together we’re learning that love isn’t about changing each other, but growing alongside one another. Two people who once followed separate paths now choosing to adventure through life hand in hand.

Jye, you’ve given me a love I only dreamed existed. I promise to keep choosing you, reaching for your hand, and loving every version of us now and forever. EVER!

I believe my heart would have found yours in any lifetime. I’m just endlessly grateful it found you in this one.

Forever yours. 8.8.2028 🤍

Since 2019, I’ve been chasing sunsets and dreams while working on cruise ships. Across oceans, through seasons, and over countless embarkations. All this time, I dreamed of sharing this life with the people who have always supported me, but unforeseen circumstances kept getting in the way.

After years of trying… it finally happened. 🛳️✨
I got to welcome my mom and aunt on board, not just to see where I work, but to experience the magic of cruising with me. Together, we explored the shores of France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK, Scotland, and Ireland.

To say I’m grateful would be an understatement. This was more than just a trip... it was a full circle moment I’ll carry in my heart forever. 💜
