Like many 2020 romances, ours started with a swipe — thank you, Hinge! While the world slowed down and there wasn’t much of anything to do, we began chatting and learning more about each other. As time went on, we took our first step forward together and decided to meet in person. Haya suggested meeting for a hike at Lake Chabot since, at the time, the world was still mostly shut down and options were limited.

We quickly realized we wanted to see more of each other and started meeting up for more dates — exploring the newly opened world, one outing at a time.

Since then, we’ve made a habit out of loving life together. Whether it’s traveling to new places, trying out the latest restaurants while ordering way too much, or taking world-class naps side-by-side — we’re at our happiest just being with each other.

Family and friends are everything to us. We love getting together with our friends for wine tastings or dinner dates. The best times are when we travel somewhere new and create memories filled with laughter and amazing food.

Our roots lie with our families, and as we grew closer, we realized that shared love for family was one of the most important things in life — and it made us love each other even more. It also made us dream of starting a family of our own one day.

In 2023, we took another big step and moved in together in Cupertino. Making a home together was more than just unpacking boxes — it was creating a space that felt like us. A place filled with love, late-night laughs, lazy Sundays, and the everyday moments that made us even stronger. It wasn’t always perfect, but it was ours — and it felt like the beginning of forever.

Then came the big moment. On September 7, 2024, Adam pulled off a beachside proposal at Baker Beach in San Francisco — complete with roses, a beautiful view, and Haya’s family there to witness it all. It was romantic, creative, and completely us. We capped off the moment with a house party full of family and close friends, where we celebrated and talked about the future big day.

Now, we can’t wait to celebrate our next chapter with the people we love most — you.
