Dee and Arian met at a charity fundraiser in Boston called Pot Full of Wishes. Arian struck up a conversation and impressed Dee with his deep knowledge of jewelry and metallurgy. Ask us about the full story ;)
Arian tried to proposed to Dee 3 separate times over a period of 2 years. As luck would have it, each engagement trip he had planned kept getting canceled... first due to injuries, then due to Covid. In the summer of 2020, after 2 years of cancellations, he decided to fly Dee up to Bar Harbor in Maine for a week of hiking and exploring Acadia National Park. On their first full day, they hiked up the South Bubble trail and Arian proposed to Dee just before they reached Bubble Rock while overlooking Jordan Pond. It really is true that the 3rd time's the charm!
