Ariane and Jeremy were set up by a mutual friend, Ilya Welfeld. Ariane had gone to camp with Ilya and Jeremy was her classmate through sixth grade. Neither of us had seen her in over 20 years, but one of Jeremy's facebook posts made her take a look and say "omg this person is perfect for Ariane!" In addition, Jeremy has a cat, and Ilya was sure this would be a selling point. Ariane and Jeremy's first date was on August 26th, 2018, and it was pretty clear halfway thought the date when Ariane ate food off Jeremy's plate that there was a definite mutual interest. Fast forward to December 30th, 2018. Ariane and Jeremy went to a brunch place in Nyack where all their serious conversations had taken place. Jeremy had planned proposing in a nearby park, but Ariane knew he had the ring in his pocket and made it clear she couldn't wait! We are so grateful and happy that we met, and are thrilled to share in the celebrations with you all! With all the love in the world and so much gratitude, Ariane and Jeremy
