Hello! My name is Sophea. I recently married the love of my life, my best friend, and inspiration, so now am I a wife!
The story of us...
We met and it was love at first sight. Two years later we took a trip to Tahiti for my birthday celebration which turned into a surprise proposal!
It was truly a romantic fairy tale proposal that I could have never dreamed up. In the tiny heart shaped island of Mo'orea in the French Pacific, he took me for a drive around the island. By the second round, he drove us up to the highest lookout point in the mountains. As I gaze out into the two bays, thinking only how surreal and breath-taking this experience was, he softly called my name. I turned around to find the love of my life down on one knee and arm extended out to me. In one had he had a small black box with something so shiny and brilliant that it blinded me.
I then heard him ask "Sophea, will you be my wife?"
It took me a solid minute before I eagerly answered "Of course I will!"
As he gently placed the beautiful ring on my finger, my (future) life flashed before my eyes. We had been together for a good amount of time, and in that time, we have laughed, loved, cried, argued, but we have always been the best partner to each other. Now I can only think of how we will be spending the rest of our lives together and sharing our love with the family we will have.

Life couldn't be any better! And so here we go....
I wanted to write this blog so that I can share my experiences in life, traveling, cooking, and the joys of being a new wife. I hope that you will also share yours by emailing or commenting on my posts. We each can learn something from someone :)
I hope you'll enjoy!
