On a beautiful Sunday, the Fourth of July in 2021, Shant and Emily's paths crossed in Hoboken, New Jersey-not knowing their lives would change forever. "That girl in the blue dress caught my eye the minute she walked in. I knew I had to talk to her" is the beginning of how Shant explains their love story. Emily went to Hoboken, New Jersey to visit a friend at work and had no intentions of meeting anyone, let alone the man she would end up marrying. After Shant spotted her and made his way over to her, he said to Emily's friend, "Oh who's this, are you going to introduce me?" After their introduction, Emily's friend left them alone to talk and before you knew it, two hours passed by of chatting, laughing, and learning about each other. By the end of that night, Shant invited Emily and her friend, Breanna, to go out the next day with their coworkers. Emily debated all night but figured why not. The next day, Emily and Shant met up with friends at the Jersey Shore. A summer day that felt everlasting, filled with fun, laughter, and lifelong memories. By the end of that night, Shant and Emily couldn’t ignore the spark between them any longer. They knew. What had passed between them upon first locking eyes was not just recognition or joy, but something truly special that most spend their lives trying to find. They spent the next week going out on dates and getting to know each other even more, enjoying each other's company. As time went on and summer came to an end, they realized their magical love story was only beginning.
