We're getting married!

Paul and Anastasia met in 2018 when Paul spent a year living in Chicago. Life then did its classic “let’s make this complicated” thing and took them in different directions. But in 2021, fate (and probably airline pricing) stepped in when Anastasia visited Seattle. They reconnected, sparks flew, and within a very reasonable amount of time they both realized, oh… this might be a big deal. In 2023, Paul moved back to Chicago, and together they built a life full of laughter, adventures, elite-level snack sharing, and the kind of everyday moments that somehow become your favorites without you noticing. In November 2025, surrounded by the completely unfair level of beauty that is Glacier National Park in Montana, Paul asked Ana to marry him. She said yes, which was great news for everyone, especially Paul. Now they cannot wait to celebrate this next chapter with the people they love most. They will have three wedding celebrations: a ceremony in Paris, a reception in Yerevan, Armenia for close family and friends, and a party in Tampa, Florida for friends in the U.S. who couldn’t join the overseas celebrations.
