Nadia and CJ’s story kicked off at work in May 2023, thanks to a little insider tip from a coworker who casually mentioned, “There’s a new guy - he’s single and cute.” Naturally, Nadia had to investigate.

Six weeks later, with a little nudge from another coworker, Nadia asked CJ out - and he said yes! Their “last first date” was on July 15th at Root’s Brew Shop, a cozy little spot that would later become the scene of something even bigger: CJ’s proposal in November 2024. Spoiler alert: she said yes💍
