On January 27, 2016, Nora walked into a new friend's apartment for an evening session of a tabletop roleplay game and found Jason sitting at the table. We kicked it off from the start, though our characters developed feelings for each other before we did. Finally, after nearly a year of flirting over conventions, board games, and lightsaber battles, Nora got the courage to ask Jason out to a Harry Potter movie and he said yes!

Over the next four years, we experienced a lot. There were trips to the beach, the theatre, amusement parks, and many movie nights. We celebrated Nora graduating from SFSU and the two of us getting new jobs. We also experienced family tragedies, pandemic furlough, nine months of long distance, and four months of quarantine-imposed no distance in a tiny studio apartment. No matter what happened, we were always there for each other and our love only grew stronger.

On January 30, 2021, five years and three days after meeting, Nora walked into our shared apartment after a long day of work and found a trail of rose petals leading to the living room. She followed them to find Jason standing in a circle of petals and a candlelit dinner out on the balcony. Jason got down on one knee, popped the question, and Nora said yes!

We can't wait to get married and celebrate our special day with you!
