How It All Began
Our Story
God writes the best love stories โ and ours began long before either of us understood it.
We grew up in the same small town of Wolliso, Ethiopia, sharing a childhood friendship that life eventually pulled apart โ different universities, different cities, different worlds. But some bonds are simply meant to find their way home.
Years later, we reconnected, and what unfolded was quiet, natural, and deeply familiar โ long conversations, shared faith in God, and the growing certainty that this was exactly where we were both supposed to be.
On a quiet evening in Alexandria, Virginia, Masresha got down on one knee and told Elsa she was his first love, his answered prayer, his greatest blessing. She said yes. ๐ On September 19th, 2026, in Washington, DC โ forever starts here.
She said yes ๐
