We met my first week living in Sydney, Australia in June 2017. It was meant to be! On our second date, Riz made me one of the most delicious chicken curries I have ever had. HES A KEEPER! Due to work, Riz had to move to Melbourne and after talking for several months I ventured down there to do some touring where he joined me on a tour to Phillip Island. We both agreed this was the best date either of us had ever had. I knew from this point on he was something special and he knew he loved me. When I moved back to the US we began a very long distance romance. We met in London for a weekend and I flew to Australia as many times as I could and after the pandemic he was finally able to come to the US to meet my family and friends. After several years of long distance we decided it was time to make it official!
