We first met at a church gathering during Thanksgiving 2021. It wasn't much of a first meet; no sparks flew and the room didn't dim (for the whole 12 seconds we interacted). Little did we know that over the next two years, we would find each other perfectly tolerable. After months of being awkward Instagram Reel friends, attending a hockey game together (+ 3rd and 4th wheel), not going (but totally going) to our church Christmas party together, and searching for the best tacos in the DMV, we decided there was something to this... We went on our first date on April 4, 2023 (I was very impressed, Natural History Museum & shawarma date FTW! -Jemi) and made it official on May 7 at the top of the Capital Wheel. Through (very) busy work, school, and personal seasons, we stuck by each other through all the highs and all the lows. We got engaged May 3, 2024 (I 100% did not see it coming -Jemi). Best friends from near and far (+8,000 miles away) joined us to celebrate our engagement. We'd love for you to join us on January 12, 2025 to celebrate our wedding and the start of the next chapter of our life together!
