Before living in the Queen City, Mohammed grew up in Columbus and Cait grew up in Cleveland. Both Mohammed and Cait moved to Cincinnati at the same time, August of 2017. They had no clue the other even existed. Through a mutual friend, they would first cross paths in 2018. The years leading up to 2021 they would cross paths a few more times. It was not until 2021 that Mohammed and Cait would both start to intertwine their paths more frequently. Just like the Bengals 2021 SuperBowl run, no one saw this coming! In April of 2021, the Bengals drafted a key piece to their offense, JaMarr Chase. That same month, Mohammed and Cait would attend their mutual friend’s birthday dinner and that would spark a connection between them both. It was not until mid-summer that they both would really start crossing paths regularly. Mohammed was smart enough to ask Cait to dinner on a Wednesday knowing that no one would have plans on a Wednesday. Their first date was at Bakersfield, down in OTR. At first, both were nervous, but for anyone that knows Mohammed and Cait, these two can talk! That is exactly what happened! Over tacos and margaritas, they talked each others ears off, laughing and sharing stories about their families and childhoods. They discovered that their backgrounds were vastly different, Mohammed growing up with 5 siblings and Cait being an only child. Mohammed grew up in the country and Cait in a suburb. But through the stories they would share that night, it would grow that spark even brighter. When they arrived at Bakersfield, it was packed. They got so caught up in conversation, they looked around and realized they were the only 2 left in the restaurant, by the end of the night. In the Fall of 2021, like the Bengals, Mohammed and Cait started to pick up momentum, but in their friendship. By the winter of 2021, both would have to quarantine, due to having covid. Who would have thought through quarantine that his would be the beginning of them spending every day together. They would soon become inseparable. Whenever you see the one, you would see the other. They would do things together, that each of them enjoyed doing. In 2022, both would have gone to Disney 3 times that year together. To Cait, that is the happiest place on earth. To Mohammed, wherever Cait was is the happiest place on earth. It was through the adventures they would share, that they would build a stronger connection and fall deeper in love. In April of 2023 is when Mohammed would ask the biggest question of his life. It was in Cleveland, the city Cait grew up in and in front of their immediate families. Mohammed, like a gentleman, got down on one knee to ask Caitlyn Autumn Melinsky to marry him. Once she was able to come out of her surprised shock, she would answer with a YES! That is what brings us to this extraordinary event happening in July. Most would associate July with fireworks; it was a spark between them both that would bring them closer together. Cait this July will officially become a Firewick. Unlike the 2021 Bengals falling short in getting a ring, Cait and Mohammed will receive theirs on July 20th, 2024. From what were 2 totally separate paths, to paths being crossed and now paths intertwined. Both Mohammed and Cait will be walking down the aisle together, in front of their loved ones, who no matter if near or far always cheer them on. They are thrilled to share this big day with you!
