Best Friends for 11 years with no intimacy, but going to marry in 6 months after just one usual evening in a cafe...

3 months into being in the same classes, we got closer and closer every day until becoming “officially” BEST FRIENDS. We both were 14 at the time. My sister eventually got a bit less close to her, but we both were still good friends. We never had a dating thing between us, both of us wanted nothing more than friendship from each other (foreshadowing: or so I thought).
High school went by, and our bond got closer. Practically, we were shipped by everyone for like 3 and a half years, continuously. We didn’t mind it though. We both started uni and ended up in the same one by fate. We decided we could be roommates, so we needed our parents’ approval. We both eventually met each other’s parents. All of them suspected us of being a thing, but she made it pretty clear she didn’t want to date me “ever.”
I was fine with that, honestly. University also went by anyway, with us being roommates throughout the 4 years. It only enhanced our friendship, and we were never intimate. Now that uni was over, we had to go our own ways, but we still connected over the phone and little weekend meetings at local spots. We had been doing this for 4 years, without anything other than just talking, until last Sunday when in a café, after having our favorite meal, we were just talking when she leaned over to kiss me. I did, it was great. We just became each other’s first kiss.
It was an awkward moment, we didn’t say anything after that and just paid the bill and walked off. I was confused, like what was that and why. The next evening, after work, she called me and confessed her feelings that she had been keeping in for like 6 years now. I initially didn’t think much of it and decided to let it be until she rang my apartment’s doorbell unannounced. After the best night of my life, with a few hours of discussion and most importantly approval from our parents, we have decided that we are going to marry in April 2026, on her birthday. We are both 25 now.
TL;DR
Met a girl at 14, became best friends, stayed roommates in uni for 4 years, nothing romantic until she kissed me at 25. She confessed she’s loved me for 6 years, and now we’re engaged to marry in April 2026.
