Being 2016, Ruby and Airyque met as many millennials do; on the internet. Their first encounter was around Lake Merritt. Airyque waited patiently with a fresh plucked sunflower to meet the woman who would soon be his wife. She walked down Grand Avenue to find him patiently waiting by a bench for her. They then ventured over to Grand Lake Kitchen where Ruby grilled him with questions as their first encounter quickly became an interview. After Airyque passed the awkward interview, they walked around the lake and Airyque told Ruby of all of the dogs he's owned in his life as Ruby listened silently and a bit awkwardly to Airyque's rambles. Following that date, they began to experience life together and truly fell in love. They are now ready to join together as one in marriage.
