We met at Juilliard in Fall 2013, in a performance psychology class for musicians. We noticed each other right away, but played it cool for the first couple months. Eventually, Leah got impatient and flirted with Niv until he finally asked her on a date. We both graduated from Juilliard in May 2014, and for the next year we dated long distance—Leah moved to Toronto for an artist diploma program, and Niv fled the cold weather to return to his hometown of Los Angeles. By the end of that year we knew that we were meant to be together, and Leah moved to LA, started a doctorate at USC, and bought her first ever car. Niv proposed on February 13th, 2018, surprising Leah, who had unintentionally been led to expect a Valentine's Day proposal. We're looking forward to sharing our wedding day with you!
