We're getting married!

It was a crisp October day in 2021, the last warm breath of the year still lingering in the air as the leaves began their transformation. Dana had recently relocated to New York City for a two-year research stint at Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital. Taking a break from settling in, he spent the day exploring the city with his parents and Layla, his faithful companion. On their ferry ride back to Roosevelt Island, fate intervened in the form of a girl and her friend who sat nearby, struck by Layla's charm and asking to play with her. Pleasantries were exchanged, but little did they know, this casual encounter would forever alter their paths. Months later, Dana summoned the courage to slide into Sandy's DMs, igniting a conversation that led to their first date. From cold walks and overpriced meals to endless laughter, their early days together were filled with moments that solidified their bond. Their journey together proves that sometimes, in the most unexpected moments, love finds its way and changes everything.
