Our love story started well before we met each other. Our paths came close on many occasions, but wouldn’t cross for several years. In 2011, as Ramone left Cambridge in the UK, Caleb started at Oxford. In 2016, as Ramone wrapped up her time at Harvard Medical School, Caleb moved to Boston to start his dual degree program at the Business and Kennedy School. At HBS, Caleb met a mutual friend, who told him all about a girl who would be perfect for him. At the same time, Ramone started her residency at Albert Einstein, the very hospital in which Caleb was born! Fate would have it that we’d meet years later in, of all places, a trendy outdoor restaurant & garden called Santiago’s in Harlem. We knew that date wouldn’t be our last. Since then, laughs, road trips, vacations, and even a once-in-a-century pandemic have been hallmarks of this unpredictable but amazing relationship.

On September 5th, 2020, Ramone was surprised with a bent knee, a ring, and a bunch of nervous tears (because Caleb’s the crybaby, of course). And though she was so overcome with emotion that she didn’t hear any of the prepared remarks (Caleb likes to talk), she heard enough to say “yes.” Thanks to Caleb’s best friend, a professional photographer & videographer, Ramone finally heard what Caleb spent weeks fretting over a few days later. On August 14th, 2021, we will say yes, one more time, in front of our closest family and dearest friends.
