We met during college in Miami, Fl... two curious souls navigating campus life and somehow always ending up in the same circles. Our connection grew with every shared moment. From spontaneous road trips to weekends exploring hidden gems in the city. We both had this deep love for food—constantly trying new spots, and making traditions out of late-night food runs and beach days. After college,

jazz nights quickly became our thing. From date nights at Blues Alley Jazz in Georgetown to the Blue Note in New York. There was something about the way we both appreciated the beauty in flavor and music that made everything feel so effortless. Then came the moment I’ll never forget.

He planned a sunset sail on the Chesapeake, the two of us and the wide open water. As the sky turned shades of peach and gold, and the wind gently pushed us forward, he reached for my hand, and got down on one knee. With the sun dipping below the horizon and a quiet kind of joy between us, I said yes.
