We met at Bloomingdale’s, where I had already been working for about a year when he walked in one day for a job interview. From that moment on, everything slowly began to fall into place. What started as a friendship quickly became something we both knew was special. We spent countless hours talking, laughing, and learning about each other. Then one October, we finally went on our first date — and we haven’t left each other’s side since. At the time, we were both in school, trying to navigate adulthood and figure out our futures as first-generation students. We understood each other in a way that felt effortless. We shared the same drive, the same dreams, and the same determination to build something meaningful. Now, just a few months away from beginning our careers, we’re preparing to start our greatest adventure yet — marriage. And it all began with a simple interview at Bloomingdale’s.
