Once upon a day, in March 2016, two young Armenians were living their lives without knowing soon they would collide. Karin Hacatoryan was tucked away in Corona del Mar while Greg Bassenian was in Santa Monica. As fate would have it, Greg’s friend Jesse (who lived a floor above him), invited him out to a group dinner at the famous Armenian restaurant, Carousel. Jesse also told Greg he was inviting his co-worker Natalie, who while married, “had some friends who were Armenian girls,” according to Jesse… Lo and behold, Jesse was right. Greg and Natalie spoke at dinner, with Natalie remarking before leaving, “Can I introduce you to my friend?” One Facebook message later, Greg and Karin were introduced. A few months later, Karin decided to move to Santa Monica for work. And a week after that, Greg and Karin were on their first date when Greg asked, “You like oysters?” The answer was yes. And two and a half years later, Greg popped another question, and the answer was also yes – there were no oysters involved, but they were at the beach.
