It all began during our senior year at George Mason University, where a simple introduction turned into something truly special. From late-night study sessions to going on our first dates, our friendship quickly blossomed into love. Shortly after graduation—having already weathered the challenges of COVID side by side—we took our first big step and moved into our very first apartment together in Arlington. Those early days were full of takeout dinners, mismatched furniture, and laughter as we built a life just for us. Fast forward a few years, and we found ourselves ready for the next chapter: last summer, we became proud homeowners! Just a few months later, on our fifth anniversary, we took a trip to Punta Cana—and it was there, with the ocean as our backdrop, that we got engaged. Now, we’re settling into our new home as a newly engaged couple, soaking in every moment and dreaming about the future. We are so excited to celebrate our love with all of you and officially begin this next chapter as husband and wife.
