Yasmine and Ethan met in August 2018 through Hinge, though Yasmine technically owes the Hinge match to her roommate, Olivia, who took it upon herself to swipe right on Ethan. Yasmine had just moved to New York City after college and was ready to meet new people—but didn’t expect a friend to handle that for her! When she saw Ethan’s profile pop up, she was immediately intrigued. He was 6'5" (she's tall), from Los Angeles (she's from San Diego), had graduated from Indiana University (she went to Wisconsin), and, by pure coincidence, also worked at Macy's—where Yasmine had just started her training program. Fate? Perhaps. And despite Ethan’s chaotic move that forced them to reschedule their first date, they finally met up... and sparks flew right away! Once they met, things quickly became serious. Ethan even met Yasmine's parents by Thanksgiving, where Ethan was put to the test ice skating in Central Park with Yasmine's dad. As the months passed, they both realized this wasn’t just another New York fling. They bonded over travel, food, and their shared ambition, falling in love as they navigated city life together. Then came 2020 and the pandemic. They decided to head back to California, braving distance and each other's childhood homes for an entire year—an interesting crash course in living together with their parents. By the time July 2021 rolled around, they were back in New York and moved into their beloved Gramercy Park apartment, where they’re still enjoying their city life together. One spring evening in June, Ethan took Yasmine out on what she thought was a typical dinner date to try a new restaurant. Beforehand, he made a casual detour to their favorite rooftop on Pier 57 along the West Side Highway. He popped the question, she said yes, and the rest, as they say, is history. Now, they’re thrilled to celebrate their next chapter with all of you in Switzerland!
