We met in the most unexpected way—at a bar (ha ha!). Arielle was at "The Keg" (now Rbar) and fatefully crossed paths with Dilan one night while she was out with some friends. Dilan was immediately interested in Arielle and offered to buy her a drink. Upon numerous denials, Dilan relentlessly kept offering, until finally Arielle gave in with a caveat that he had to buy drinks for her and her friends. Six hours and $400 later, Arielle finally gave Dilan her phone number!

Little did we know that this chance bar encounter would turn into a love story we could never have imagined.

Over the years, we've traveled together, shared countless adventures, and built a beautiful home filled with love and noise thanks to our two precious boys. From sing-alongs on road trips to making light of even the most serious situations, every moment life has thrown our way has only brought us closer.

In true Dilan fashion, he proposed to Arielle while fishing. One day after work, he said he had to go on a side job, but in reality, he was out buying a ring. He shouted that he’d caught a huge fish and that Arielle needed to come help him—but when she arrived, he was actually down on one knee. He said, “I didn’t catch a fish, but could I catch you for the rest of my life?” Shocked and overjoyed, Arielle said, “Yes!”

Now, as we prepare to say “I do,” we couldn’t be more excited for what the future holds. We are so thankful for the love and support of our families and friends, and we can’t wait to begin this next chapter together…….. FINALLY ;)
