Some love stories start slowly. Ours hit the ground running. We met at a gym on Long Island, New York, and from the very first moment, it just clicked. It wasn’t awkward, it wasn’t forced—it felt as if we had known each other in another life. Two years of laughter, growth, late-night talks, road trips, and countless meals later, we decided to take a leap—and move to Northern Virginia together. Away from our hometowns, our families, and everything familiar -- except each other. And honestly, that was all we needed. Life hasn’t stopped surprising us since. Every day we find new reasons to fall in love all over again. We still crack each other up over the smallest things. We still get butterflies. And we still can’t believe how lucky we are. On July 14th, 2024, on the black sand of Diamond Beach in Iceland, with the waves crashing and the glaciers sparkling behind us, he asked the most beautiful question—and with tears, laughter, and a very excited “YES!”—we began our next chapter. Now, we’re counting down the days to celebrate this wild, wonderful love with the people who mean the world to us. We can't wait to say I do.
