FIRST TIME We first met at Bespoke Post. I remember sending him a slack after he gave a Zoom prezzy for our company's "show and tell" - “you’re so good at presenting. Do you take classes?”. I guess you could say Nali made the first move, but are you surprised? SECOND TIME We ran into each other at Jane's party months later. We talked for hours..about everything. There was this instant ease, like we'd known each other forever. THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM A few months later, we watched Dune with friends. Then proceeded to hang out for 10 hours. At some point, the Pinterest board of engagement rings came out (no idea why, but maybe it was fate). TIMELESS A year(ish) later, we went back to Queens Botanical Garden, where we had our first official date and where the security guard once called us husband and wife. This time, Deniz got down on one knee and proposed. <3 Best friends & each other's soulmates.
