Our story began in a psychiatric hospital-don't worry, we were interns, not patients (though after surviving the internship, that could have gone either way). Dmitriy had just finished his dietetic internship, officially done with clinical rotations, case studies, and figuring out how to get patients to eat their prescribed diets. Aida, on the other hand, was just beginning hers, walking in bright-eyed and ready to learn. Our paths crossed for the first time during that brief overlap-just long enough for Dmitriy to offer some wise advice (Step 1: Always carry snacks. Step 2: If in doubt, refer to Step 1). Then, just like that, he was gone, off into the world of dietetics. Some time later, fate (and one of our preceptors, who apparently had a side gig as a matchmaker) brought us back into each other's lives. What started as casual conversations quickly turned into something more-long talks about life, weekend adventures, and, of course, plenty of food. Somewhere along the way, Aida fully accepted that Dmitriy is hands down the better cook, and Dmitriy realized that life is a lot more fun with Aida around. Now, after plenty of laughter, learning, and countless home-cooked meals (courtesy of Dmitriy), we're ready to take on our biggest adventure yet—marriage! We can't wait to celebrate with you!
