Ezgi & Pete

March 5–9, 2025 • East Lansing, MI
It all began when we met on Bumble. Pete was drawn to Ezgi's cute photos and whimsical bio, while Ezgi loved Pete’s funny side paired with his handsome (read: chiseled and rugged) pics. From the very first moment we met, we knew there was something special between us. Maybe it was Ezgi’s entire faculty wanting to celebrate our first date by scheduling an outing for the exact same time and place, forcing us to relocate to the taco place across the street, or perhaps it was the unstoppable combination of Ezgi's love of emo rock and Pete’s impressive knowledge of 2000s romcoms. Either way, we couldn’t deny the connection.

We joined for our second date at Good Truckin' Diner, thus firmly establishing breakfast food as the culinary heart of our relationship. Since it brought us closer together and became a pastime for us, we knew it would be the perfect way to celebrate both our past and our future.

We joined for our second date at Good Truckin' Diner, thus firmly establishing breakfast food as the culinary heart of our relationship. Since it brought us closer together and became a pastime for us, we knew it would be the perfect way to celebrate both our past and our future.

We’ve already experienced so much together—navigating both the highs and lows that life has thrown our way. Through it all, we’ve always had each other’s backs. We've been there to care for one another during tough times, whether it was supporting each other through surgeries or adjusting to new and challenging work responsibilities. We've even had the joy of adopting yet another dog, learning and growing as a team while caring for a furry friend. Every challenge has only made our bond stronger, as we’ve continuously learn to face life's hurdles together with a sense of togetherness, patience, and love.

On the brighter side, we’ve traveled across the U.S., ticking off some incredible places on our bucket list—like standing in awe of the Grand Canyon, exploring the vibrant streets of LA, and immersing ourselves in the culture of New Orleans, where we even got a chance to see alligators up close and witness elephants sharing a heartwarming hug! Each journey brought us closer, whether it was through the adventure itself or the quiet moments of awe we shared as we took in the beauty around us.

One of the most special places in our story is Boston, where we got engaged—a city full of meaning and memories. It was there, amid the hustle and bustle, that we marked the beginning of the next chapter in our lives together. Throughout these adventures and milestones, we’ve shared so many “firsts”. Each of these moments has been a piece of the puzzle that is our life together.

One of the most special places in our story is Boston, where we got engaged—a city full of meaning and memories. It was there, amid the hustle and bustle, that we marked the beginning of the next chapter in our lives together. Throughout these adventures and milestones, we’ve shared so many “firsts”. Each of these moments has been a piece of the puzzle that is our life together.

We’ve also been fortunate to see our individual friend circles blend into something truly special. What started as the people we each held dear has evolved into a beautiful, shared community. We feel so privileged to be a part of these amazing groups of people—each of whom brings something unique and meaningful to our lives. Whether it’s through shared laughter, support during tough times, or just the everyday moments we’ve spent together, we’ve built a network of friends who feel more like family. Watching our worlds merge has been one of the most rewarding parts of our journey, and we’re so grateful to have these incredible people in our lives, walking alongside us as we continue to grow and experience life together.

As we continue to explore life side by side, we’re so excited for all the new experiences, memories, and “firsts” still to come. We know there’s so much more ahead, and we can't wait to see where this journey takes us.
