Like many modern love stories, ours began with a simple message on social media—but it quickly turned into something extraordinary. Our first date was at Pier 115 in New Jersey, where we planned to catch the NBA Finals over dinner. What we didn’t plan for was how effortlessly we connected. We spent over six hours laughing, talking, and realizing just how natural it felt to be around each other. From that night on, we’ve been inseparable—growing together, learning about one another, and building a bond rooted in deep friendship and love. The proposal was just as special. It was her birthday weekend, and I told her we had plans in NYC—but first, a quick dinner stop at Liberty State Park. What she didn’t know was that our closest friends and family were already there, waiting to witness the moment. I got down on one knee, and we celebrated with dinner at the beautiful Liberty House. Now, we’re counting down the days to say “I do” in front of the people who mean the most to us. We can’t wait to celebrate, to start this next chapter, and to continue building a life together—side by side, as one.
