Picking Apples with Lalima

We have made it no secret that Rai and our friends' daughter across the street, Lalima, have been promised to each other and will wed shortly after Rai's 18th birthday. Unlike many arranged marriages where the bride and groom meet only once or a handful of times before the actual wedding day, we plan to have Rai and Lalima grow up playing together. If all goes according to plan, they will actually think that their engagement was their idea, not ours.
A big part of love is shared history, singular experiences that collect into the couple's story, experiences that can be reminisced about time and time again. We are in the process of building that shared history for Rai and Lalima. One event that seems to be a touchstone for Rai at this time is a time, months ago now, that him and Lalima picked apples off of the apple tree in our backyard together. At least a dozen or two dozen times a day, Rai reminds us about "picking apples... alalala (Lalima)...". Watch the video to see such a moment.
