It all started in 2018 at Azusa Pacific University in Professor Chase’s Business Management class. Brylka and Airielle were grouped together—along with one other friend—for a class project that required them to spend time together outside of class. That project sparked their first real conversations and the start of a budding friendship.

Soon after, Airielle noticed Brylka in more of her classes and chose to sit next to the familiar face. From there, they naturally began spending more time together. Brylka often helped her with assignments and lectures, and through that steady support and shared experiences, their friendship grew—from acquaintances to friends, to good friends, and eventually, best friends.

As their bond deepened, Brylka discovered his feelings for Airielle but remained patient in his pursuit, allowing their connection to grow at its own pace. In 2024, their friendship blossomed into a romantic relationship. A turning point in their journey came when Brylka selflessly took Airielle to the hospital during a challenging time, proving his unwavering care and commitment.

Now, after years of learning, growing, and walking through life side by side, they’re ready to begin the next chapter—together, for life.
