Arakel and Maria first met during the San Francisco Armenian Food Festival held at KZV Armenian School in the Fall of 2017. We had an instant connection and spent most of the night getting to know each other better. That connection turned into a friendship that blossomed into a relationship over the next few months. The more we got to know each other, the deeper our bond became. We’re excited to start a new chapter in our lives and look forward to celebrating with our loves ones.
