​​Serendipity. It’s the essence of their story, like a gentle thread stitching together how they first met and how their relationship unfolded.

​

They first crossed paths in an Aikido class during the spring semester of 2015. Kameron chose the class at random from a list of “easy A’s,” hoping to avoid more demanding humanities courses. Her reasoning remains a mystery. At the time, they were cordial but distant, exchanging little more than polite acknowledgments.

​

Later that semester, Kameron volunteered as a teaching assistant during a Saturday anatomy open lab. She was there - bubbly and bold - and decided it was finally time to talk. Conversation came easily, and an invitation to her birthday followed. That night, long after the guests had settled in, they stayed up together washing dishes and talking.

​

From there, everything clicked. Their friendship grew effortlessly, grounded in a deep sense of recognition. They’d later say it was as if their souls already knew the way. Over time, that friendship softened into devotion, and what began as chance quietly became intention.

​

In all the world, there is no heart that holds him the way hers does, and no love that meets her with such certainty, tenderness, and truth as his.
