It's Winter 2019 in Washington, DC. Shay is busy working in her first job since the Peace Corps, exploring the east coast, thinking about grad school, and having a ball. Biz is busy 15 miles away living with his boys, playing pickup basketball after work, and getting out on the town. They were both living their lives, swiping on Bumble trying to meet someone interesting. When they came across each other's profiles, Biz's recommendation to get tacos and Shay's charming smile sold each other. After a bit of phone tag, they finally met up in person (for tacos!) and the rest is history. After those tacos on March 28, 2019, they never went a day without talking and by that summer they made it ~official~. Since then, they've changed jobs (Biz is crushing it in staffing and Shay is dabbling between the space industry and healthcare), moved in together (in an apartment they're obsessed with in Arlington, VA), ventured into new hobbies (meaning obsessions: golf), tackled graduate school (Shay graduated in April 2023 with Biz as the best supporter), and continued to have dance parties, rap battles, and many laughs daily. Finally, in October 2022 and after much anticipation, Biz took Shay on a weekend getaway and while walking along the Potomac River, popped the question. With an obvious yes, it was also obvious they wanted to celebrate with all of their best friends and amazing family in Palm Springs, one of their favorite places to visit (sunshine, palm trees, pools, golfing, good food, great drinks, cute airport, it has everything!). So, the wedding planning began, and they can't wait to have all of their favorite people with them 2.10.2024 to lock it in!
