It was the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City, when the world felt like it was standing still. Yet, in that quiet pause, something beautiful started to bloom. We met on a double date at a cozy wine bar in NoMad, and from that very night, sparks flew. From laughing over our clumsy friends to planning future adventures, we both felt something special. As the world slowly opened back up, we embraced the freedom of travel, discovering not only new places but also a deep connection with one another. Together, we’ve traveled to incredible destinations like Egypt, Singapore, Italy, Greece, and more - immersing ourselves in different cultures (wearing many hats) and creating unforgettable memories. Whether it was exploring the Pyramids or soaking in the sunsets of Santorini, each trip brought us closer. But it wasn’t just about travel. We’ve watched each other grow—navigating new careers, embarking on the journey of law school, moving in together (renting a U-Haul in NYC - fun!) and caring for our little baby Chanel 🐶, who has been our constant companion (and nuisance 😉) on our road trips across the country. Through every challenge and every success, we’ve been there for one another. When it came time for the next big step, I knew I had to make it unforgettable. So, in true fashion, I decided to make the proposal “challenging" (because why not?), and popped the question in the farthest place possible to secretly smuggle a diamond ring - Australia! Spoiler alert: the answer was yes! From that first double date to this incredible journey together, we’ve found love not only in each other but in every adventure life has thrown our way. We can’t wait to see what the future holds and are excited to share our next chapter with you!
