Picture this: it's 2019 at the Santa Monica Pier. Their first interaction begins with an awkward handshake that quickly turns into a playful hug. Maya and Aaron have been inseparable ever since. Fueled by their competitive spirits, they first bonded over a lightning-fast card game called Speed. Little did they know, their paths had crossed long before they met in sunny LA. Both attended the Rochester Institute of Technology, yet they never saw each other until after Aaron graduated. Talk about fate playing its hand. In their first year together, Maya and Aaron navigated a long-distance relationship while Aaron worked in Boston. COVID brought them closer when his job went fully remote. In 2022, Maya graduated from college, and Aaron decided to pursue his master’s degree. Fast forward two more years filled with countless memories and experiences, from long road trips to foreign adventures and an additional degree. Now, they’re ready to build their lives together!
