Emmi and Max met as students at UT-Dallas while Emmi was a freshman and Max was a sophomore, and they regard Valentine's Day 2018 as their first date. They found their easy compatibility in the simple pleasures they both love ~ taking walks, drinking coffee, dining out and cooking at home, playing pool, cards, backgammon, and Yahtzee, traveling, and spending time with their friends, family, and, of course, their pup Frito!

While vacationing in Denmark in spring of 2024, Emmi and Max became engaged on April 27 in the garden of Max's grandmother's enchanting home on the island of Thurø off the coast in the Baltic Sea.

Emmi's engagement ring is a family heirloom she received as a gift from her Abuelita Ofelia several years ago. The antique ring was worn by Emmi's great-great grandmother. Max knew Emmi's fondness of the ring and what a special engagement ring it would be, so to make it ready he consulted a jeweler, who found the style and uniqueness of this vintage European ring to be remarkable. Its oval-shaped stone surrounded by a ring is believed to signify eternal love and unending connection and unity.
