Roman and Mara crossed paths in 2020 at Southern Adventist University, where they were introduced by mutual friends. What began as study sessions quickly turned into something deeper, with shared conversations and plenty of laughter. Their connection grew naturally, and soon they were spending more and more time together. It wasn’t until a dare pushed Roman to ask Mara out that their relationship truly began. Their first date at Thai Chili turned out to be the perfect choice, and it became their special spot ever since. As their relationship blossomed, they spent time building memories together, supporting each other through major milestones, and finding joy in the little things. Whether they’re hosting murder mystery parties, cooking for friends and family, diving into video games, or binge-watching The Bachelorette (Mara’s favorite), they’ve created a world that’s uniquely theirs. Now, as they prepare for the next chapter, they’re excited to celebrate their love and the future ahead, surrounded by the people who mean the most to them. ❤️
