Siavash was born and raised in Tehran, Iran, six thousand miles from where he would eventually meet his future wife. He immigrated to the United States with his family in 2005 on Halloween, Quincie's favorite day of the year. Fast forward to college at Syracuse University, Quincie and Siavash went almost their entire four years without crossing paths. It wasn't until the end of senior year in 2015 that they found each other in a mutual friend's apartment, where a friendly game of Mario Kart sent sparks flying. Almost 6 years later, as the sun was rising on August 1, 2020, Siavash asked Quincie to marry him at the end of Pier A Park in Hoboken. They live happily with their cat Otto, listening constantly to Drake, surrounded by family, friends, Tony Boloney's pizza and the magical New York City skyline.
