We first met in May of 2023 - and we started dating a month later in June. Our story started out with 2 1/2 months of long distance dating as Ruwaida was abroad for the summer. We both said “I love you” for the first time in mid August. After a little over a year of dating, we got engaged in the mountains on August 31st 2024. We are excited to tie the knot on November 10th, 2024.
