Chapter 2 · Choosing love and beginning again

We Chose Marriage Before We Had All the Answers

A founder story about living the values behind Koa.

KOA-STORY-013 · Adapted from historical first-person founder writing

Edward and I fell in love quickly. I have told the story of agreeing to marry after a very short time together and celebrating our wedding in Hawaiʻi. It was surprising even to us, and it brought uncertainty alongside joy.

What I carried into the next chapter

I do not tell this story as a model of how quickly anyone should make a commitment. It is a story about taking responsibility for a choice that belonged to us. It changed the direction of my life, and every relationship has its own pace, questions and responsibilities.
