Here are some of our favorites stories.

Lowell, MA, USA on the 26th of July, 2003, at 7:05pm

It was the first date to the beginning of a new life with my now wife Robyn.

You see, I was still in the recovery stage after being shot in the line of duty. I was a Police Sergeant in a small town in Central Mass. During my recovery period I met Robyn via computer service and after learning she was a huge fan of baseball and the Redsox organization, I decided our first date would be at LeLacheur Park in Lowell, MA, to take in a Lowell Spiners game (Redsox Short A Team).
It was a special night as I was thanking God, I was still alive, but more importantly, I was there with my future wife.

That date to me is remembered every year and is as important as our Anniversary.

It was the First holiday with my boyfriend and our two sons (my son and his son).
We where outside and the sky was full of shootings stars. It was pure Magic. He asked me if want to marry him someday in the future because he wants to become my husband one day at all cost.

He is doing a pretty good job :) He's a dream boyfriend, gentlemen and the best father I could imagine.

I bought the star map for my wife Vonda on Valentine's day 2019.

Our first date was the night of October 31st ,1993. We've been together ever since.
She absolutely loved the star map, said it was the best gift ever. She and our youngest daughter, who was there when she opened it, both said they cried when they saw the map and read the captions.

My wife and I met online in December of 2011.

It was a coincidental meeting of chance. We quickly became friends and began emailing each other every day. We moved from emails to phone calls, to texting, to Facetiming.
Eventually, in June of 2012, we planned to meet. She lived in Texas and I lived in California. She flew to meet me on June 11th, and two days later we decided we would try long distance. It was the most difficult time of our lives, but we never gave up. We would fly back and forth twice a year. We were two full-time students with full-time jobs, trying to make this work.

In March of 2015, I took a leap and moved to Texas. I became a part of the family, and we began to build our life together. I knew that if I made the move, I was going to marry her.
June 13th was our 5th Anniversary. I recreated our first date in Texas. Same restaurant, same booth.
We were killing time before we went back home, I suggested we go watch a movie. Back at the house, my soon-to-be sisters-in-law had rigged up a hard-drive to the living room television to play a slideshow I created, and our song "Wait For Me" by Theory of a Deadman, dubbed over it. My sisters-in-law couldn't figure it out, so in order to make sure they had ample time, we went to the movies. On our way back, there was a power outage at the house and nothing was working. As we pulled in the power came back on, the slideshow started, rose petals and candles lit through the living room, leading to the living room television with the pictures from our first meeting and first conversation, leading up to this moment.

I proposed that night at 10:00pm, with my in-laws hiding in their room. The house was filled with tears of joy and laughter and giddiness and love. Our wedding was March 31st of 2018. Unfortunately, since everyone was hiding, there were no pictures of the engagement, or proposal.
But, since we spent a lot of our times looking at the stars in Los Angeles and during some tepid Texas nights. This is a beautiful reminder of the night. I couldn't be happier for it.

At the last minute, I decided to go to an 8pm fitness class, which is a time that I never go to.
I walked in and struck up a conversation with a couple of people waiting for the class to start. We talked about a newer local restaurant one of them worked at. That night I asked the other girl if she wanted to meet me there sometime.

We've been together ever since 7:50pm, Novemer 6th, 2017.

My story is that I had known my now husband for 3 years as a co-worker. I fell in love with him the minute I met him, but at that point love wasn't "in the stars" for us. We became best friends and day after day my love for Eric just grew and grew.

Fast-forward to October 24th when we went to a work-related event in Lenox, MA. I wasn't going to call him that day, he wasn't going to answer the phone but as fate and the stars alignment would have it - I did make that phone call, and he did answer the phone. We met up for lunch and had a lot of time in between to be together before the event - and were like two awkward teenagers. We'd been alone together before on several occasions and never had an awkward silence between us, but on this day something was different. There was an electricity in the room with us that couldn't be explained.
Long story, short... at 2:00 PM the stars aligned and we had our first kiss. To say it was amazing is an understatement. That first kiss turned into a now 14-year relationship, marriage and us being the soulmates we always knew we were.
PS - we still work together in the same office, same department as we did when we first met - 16 years strong as best friends.
This is just one of the most creative and amazing ways to capture those life moments you want to cherish forever. I'll be doing it again for our wedding, buying our first home and any other major life event that we happen upon. Thank you to the stars above for shining down on the world.

And thank you, Under Lucky Stars for this amazing gift you give to people like me and my husband. Truly a blessing.

My wife and I had our wedding on that day!

It was supposed to be outside and it poured down rain so it forced us inside. Luckily the wedding planners had it all set up and we had a beautiful wedding!
Thank you for the work you did on the picture! My wife loved it and said it is exactly what she wanted!

I was station overseas in South Korea, when I met my wife in Pohang.
Before my wife headed back to states (she left before me), we took a walk on the beach in Pohang on the night of Dec 14th. While walking on the beach I told her I loved her under the stars.

We got married almost a year later to the date. Above is a picture from earlier that day.

On January 27th, 2018, I met a special person.

It was our first date and I knew that he was going to be my star and my light at every single dark tunnel that we faced. He lit up my whole world, and I fell in love with him quickly. It was a moment me and him would never forget, it was definitely special.
Unfortunately, we did end up ending things recently, but we are still special to one another and we both hope that once we both better ourselves, that we both will continue our story, and look back on these stars and realize we were written in them whether it’s wrong or right.

Thank you for making such a memorable piece of art, he loved the gift, and knows that we are a special part of this world, especially together as one.
