How We Met

May 17, Now & Forever

Once upon a time, at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, fate quietly set the stage for a love story to remember. During Greek Week, Janina spotted Alec across the crowd, and in that single moment, her heart knew. Her sorority sisters discovered her secret crush and dared her to invite him to their upcoming formal. Summoning the courage of a true princess, Janina asked Alec—and to her delight, he said yes. A few weeks later, on May 17, 2019, it became the beginning of their forever. As the evening shimmered with music and laughter, Alec took Janina’s hand and asked her to be his girlfriend just before summer break started. With a radiant smile and a heart full of certainty, Janina said yes. From that moment on, their lives became entwined—two hearts walking the same enchanted path, side by side. And so, a single evening became the start of a beautiful story—one where love blossomed naturally, effortlessly, and with the kind of quiet magic that belongs only to fairytales. ✨

Our Engagement Story

Once upon a time, in a story as timeless as the stars, Alec knew that when the moment came to ask Janina to be his forever, it had to be nothing short of magical. Knowing Janina’s heart for tradition, Alec set out to find the perfect ring—a princess cut diamond, fit for the princess she had always been in his eyes. He wanted the ring to be a gift from him alone, a treasure that would reflect the depth of their love and the fairytale they were living. But Alec’s plan didn’t stop there. Tucked away for years was a hand-drawn picture of them from the night of his fraternity formal—the night their story truly began. It was meant to be Janina’s first birthday gift from him, but Alec had always felt it wasn’t quite finished. That changed when the ring arrived. He added the final touch—four heartfelt words: Will you marry me? Carefully framing the picture, just as Janina had once asked, he knew the moment was finally perfect. On May 17, 2024—the same date their story began—Alec presented Janina with the drawing. As her eyes filled with tears, he knelt before her, holding the princess-cut ring. Without hesitation, Janina slipped it onto her finger, her heart bursting with happiness. Their pup, Blaze, bounced into the moment with joyful hugs and kisses, sealing their sweet family bond. That evening, Alec and Janina celebrated their fifth anniversary with a private dinner—just the two of them, together forever, as their happily-ever-after began. ✨
