Sometimes the best love stories take a little time to catch up in real life. Naomi and Jarred first crossed paths online, spending nearly two years exchanging DMs on Instagram—mostly bonding over shared food posts and mutual laughs—without ever meeting face to face. Then in June 2022, fate stepped in. They unexpectedly ran into each other at a bowling alley in North Hills, and after finally meeting in person, the connection was instant. A week later, they went on their first official date—and from that moment on, they’ve been locked in ever since. On December 30th 2022, Jarred made it official in the most romantic way, asking Naomi to be his girlfriend during an intimate candlelight dinner surrounded by roses. On May 10th 2024, the best thing happened to them: they welcomed their first child, Kaiel Zyair McKay—their greatest joy and the true center of their world. Then on July 6th 2025, Jarred popped the question at the very spot where they grabbed drinks on their first date—Watts & Ward—surrounded by family and friends and a gorgeous layout. HE DID THAT!! It was the perfect full-circle moment and the easiest “yes.” Now, they’re ready to say “I do” on April 16, 2027 with you in Sint Maarten, and celebrate forever as a family.
