Michel & Immilia

Our Story

We're not childhood friends, we're totally strangers while in high school, and we're not talking to each other so often while we're in the first year of the university. But God works in extraordinary way. He matches two-totally-strangers (which means : us) into a couple. We are not a perfect couple, but we're match each other. We are easily fighting. You can say that we can argue 8 days a week for really-unimportant-things such as : watching this film or that film, choosing this way or that way, going here or going there, ordering this or ordering that. Haha... But we are easily forgive and forget. We have a very different personality, but we are completed each other. We also have different religions, which makes people sometimes think that we have a worthless relationship, but we can tolerate each other and yes... we can get along quite well.

We've passed years of togetherness. And it will be more years of togetherness for us. It's because we want to grow old together and spend our lifetime loving each other. Forever :)

And the story begins . . .

And the story begins . . .

September 3rd 2004. It was the beginning of new academic year with the other 200-something new students in Airlangga Dentistry Faculty's. Well, at that time, we were in the same academic year of 2004's orientation, with the white longsleeves shirt, black trousers, and silly-yellow-nametags but still we didn't know each other at that time.

And we forgot what was the exactly date we started to know each other....

What we'd remembered was... after the orientation day, we started with our so-called campus life. We had different playgank, or playmate, or haha... whatever you name it. And just a coincidance that our different playgank gathered together couple times. Since that time, we sat in the same row while we had lectures in campus.

Our first real conversation was saying 'hi' to each other. That's it. We went to campus, attended preclinics, lectures, and our ganks were also collaborated in one same row everyday, but our real conversations were just 'hi'.

We started to send sms each another since April 2005. Almost 6 months after Michel sent his sms for the first time which was in Christmas 2004. And we started to talk in real world, instead of chatting by MSN messenger or TS game online, hahaha...

On May 13th 2005, live from our MSN messenger, we were officially in a relationship :)

We were getting engaged, December 30th 2007.

And the private proposal afterwards on May 13th 2010, while we were celebrating our 5th anniversary. That surprising-yes-I-do moment was arranged by Michel. He sent 13 red roses tied with yellow ribbon and a diamond ring, stood with his two knees and asked : "Will you marry me ?"

The Groom

Michel was born in Mainz-Germany, October 6th 1986. As the youngest in the family, he has a beautiful elder sister and an elder brother. His dad is an androlog and his mom is a doctor. Let's see... He is tall, has a very big eyes covering with eyeglasses, has a very thick and wavy hair *which often makes every hairdressers confused what should they do with his hair*

He's graduated from Petra 10 kindergarten and elementary school, Petra 1 junior high, Petra 1 senior high school, and Airlangga University major dentistry.

Now he's a full time dentist in a family-corporated clinic. And being a good dentist is his goal for now.

He loves watching movies, playing computer, eating, and tickling his fiancee.

He's so kind *sometimes*, he sleeps easily, and can't do anger management when someone tried to tease him while he's sleeping. He loves plants, furry animals, but he says that his fiancee is his most favourite among primatas (and his most precious thing in this world)

He doesn't like spicy foods, but now he's trying to like it. Let's see the progress later. He also bad on learning languages, but expert on finding orifices, doing endodontics, physics, mathematics, and of course, computer.

And his fiancee is so lucky for having him :)
