Charmelda

A note in 2006 was the start to a type of love that evolves as the years go by. It’s imperfections are minimal to the gravity that binds us.

How did your love story begin?

It truly began almost 20 years ago with Charles working up the courage to write Imelda a letter confessing he noticed her, wanted to get to know her and explore his idea of having a crush on her. That ignited conversations over the phone and on AOL instant messenger that created the friendship between Charles and Imelda. Fast forward August 9, 2026 they will celebrate 20 years of choosing each other.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

There are so many but we’d have to say our wedding day. Being able to bring our families and friends together to celebrate our joining has always been a happy memory for us. Especially at the end of that night in bed reminiscing and wishing we can do it all over again.

What would you do with $20,000?

What would we do with $20,000?! That’s a tough one between saving it all for a starter home or splitting it between a week long vacation and a vowel renewal ceremony on their 10 year wedding anniversary.
