Who knew that a chance encounter on a sunny Sunday afternoon would lead to love and marriage? We first met briefly on June 5, 2022 at an event in DC where we were meeting a mutual friend. About a week later, we exchanged contact information via social media and began chatting daily for hours on the phone where we quickly formed a strong bond despite being long distance. We had our first date in Philly on July 22, 2022 and have been inseparable every since. We got engaged on Michael's birthday, September 7, 2023, and can't wait to become husband and wife this summer.
