We met while we were both working at BWI Airport for Southwest Airlines. Ilya was working as a Ramp Agent and Emma worked as a Safety Coordinator. Ilya and Emma noticed each other in passing and both knew they had to get to know each other. One night, Emma had picked up some overtime working late and guess who happened to walk by the window where she was working. Ilya spent most of his most of his shift that night sitting by the window and chatting with Emma (sorry Southwest, you did not get your money out of him that night). A couple of days later, they had already set up their first date (a ropes course, which happened to be very fitting for both of them). The conditions of the first date was that Ilya could take Emma out if he agreed to wear his seatbelt at work. Emma was clearly very invested in her role. After that first date, the rest was history. Emma and Ilya were inseparable and before either of them knew it, were meeting each other's parents and moving in together. 5 years, a houseful of creatures and a couple career moves later, Emma and Ilya are so excited to commit to spending the rest of their days creating more beautiful memories together. We hope to see you there!
