Like any well-adjusted millennial who doesn't have the time/desire to look for people in bars and clubs, we both turned to online dating. After talking through the app for a couple of weeks, it was easy for us to find things we had in common. Our first date was Mexican food and margaritas - Karina's favorite!

Jared and Karina's birthday are one day apart. Jared's birthday is November 17th and Karina's is the 18th.

Karina's We went down to Long Beach to visit Jared's friend on Halloween 2019. The first night we saw our two teams play each other, the Anaheim Ducks and Vancouver Canucks (Ducks won!) and the second night we saw the LA Kings play Chicago Blackhawks. We started the game rooting for the Kings, because Jared never gets to cheer for the home team, but halfway through the first period we all agreed it felt wrong to want the Kings to win, so we switched to the Blackhawks. Both games went into overtime! Jared's Our February 2020 trip to Kauai. I got to grow closer to the Riley family which made me love Karina even more. That was the trip I asked Ken's permission to marry his daughter (he said yes).
