How We Met

July, 24th, 2017

You might look at the date and think - wow they met met on a Monday. Usually it takes place at a party, a social gathering, a bar by where you live, but that is not what happened in this case. Anar and Eugene are both hotel managers within the hotel industry and July 24th, 2017 was Eugene's first day at the New York Sheraton at Times Square Hotel. At 9:15AM was a manager's stand up meeting and that is the first time when both Anar and Eugene laid eye's on each other. From Anar's point of view it is the first time Eugene laid eyes on her. Fast forward three weeks later the two had a really tough day at work and Anar texted Eugene if he would like to go have drinks with her after work which Eugene replied to less then ten seconds. Little did he know that what Anar meant was drinks and there was nothing more to it. The two started to go out for drinks after work frequently and Eugene began to really like Anar. Finally in the middle of September Eugene decided to confess to Anar that he likes her and ask her out to a JETS game to which Anar did not give a firm yes. A couple of days later Anar had agreed to go to the JETS game with Eugene on September 29th, 2017. Eugene would say that he didn't really enjoy the game as it was pouring rain and he had to purchase two new pair of jeans, because of how wet he got, but it wasn't about the game for Eugene or the rain - it was about the fact that they got to spend the day with someone who he is now going to marry and spend the rest of his life with.

The Proposal

Feb. 7th, 2019

On a rainy Thursday in February Eugene decided that he was going to take the next step towards spending the whole life together with Anar. On a rooftop in Downtown Manhattan overlooking Freedom Tower, candle lit walkway, a guitar player - playing the tune of Bruno Mars "Marry Me," on a bended knee, Eugene asked Anar if she would marry him - and she responded with a big "YES!"
