A year into their marriage, he still adored her. On their last morning at the hotel, he surprised her: «Meet me at 5:30 AM for breakfast.» A joke? she thought — until she woke up alone.
She rushed downstairs. Piano music drifted through the hall. He was playing. She never even knew he could!
She smiled. A year ago, she said yes to a NOVI ring. Today, she’d share her biggest news: they were having a baby. A son — or a daughter with his eyes. A lifetime of surprises was just beginning.

Amsterdam felt like a fairytale. When he suggested a spontaneous trip to the tulip fields, she nearly cried with joy.
On a flower-covered bridge, he knelt. The ring — a deep blue stone — mirrored the cornflower tulips. Her breath caught.
For a moment, time disappeared. Only the proposal remained: tulips, a blue sky, and a love story to pass down through generations.

That town near the lake had always been her home. There, between hills and memories, she was truly happy.
On her last evening, her mother gave her a NOVI aquamarine pendant: «To remember where it all began.»
Back home, she wore it often, thinking of those sweet days. A year later, her mother waited on the balcony — tea ready, cake warm.
One day, her daughter would inherit both: the pendant and the recipe — symbols of love passed down.
