Our love story started the modern way—on Hinge—and quickly turned into something special on our first date, April 5th, 2024. From that moment on, it’s been filled with love, laughter, and more late-night taco runs than we can count. After 11 months of falling deeper in love (and welcoming two dogs into our little family), Malik planned the most heartfelt proposal on the beach, at my father’s memorial bench—a place filled with meaning, love, and memories. On our two-year anniversary, we’ll officially become husband and wife, and we can’t wait to celebrate forever with the people we love most
