Born on different continents, it was serendipitous that Ariel and John ever crossed paths! John's year living in Canada, a shared interest in board games helped bring them together. Despite often being an ocean apart, they always made time for each other. After 8 years, lots of air miles racked up, and a global pandemic, they finally decided it was time to get engaged. They are thrilled for this next chapter of living together in Ireland post-marriage!
