Shira & John met in Chicago interning at an ad agency during the summer of 2012. Their first conversation happened on a Friday afternoon, leaving the office early to attend a happy hour. John was wearing pleated khakis. Throughout the summer, they barely talked and returned to their respective colleges in Austin and New York without saying goodbye. The following year they reconnected through mutual friends from the internship. On their first date, John confessed his love for Shira. They began dating a few months later. In February 2021, Shira & John spent a week at a remote cabin in upstate New York. During their stay, John proposed to Shira in a heart-shaped display made of roses in the driveway. Shira was wearing a pair of John’s track pants. She said yes.
