Who would have imagined that two classmates from a small high school would reconnect on a plane ride twelve years after graduation (thank you, Shayna and Dolev)?

Eitan and I shared those hallways but have just one group photo to show for it, and we can’t even remember if we exchanged a single word during those four years. We certainly never thought our paths would cross again. Yet here we are, thirteen years after graduation—together and happier than we ever dreamed—thanks to a chance encounter on a flight and a swipe on Hinge.

After a year filled with adventures, Eitan proposed in the most romantic way possible—on his best friend’s rooftop (a special shoutout to Chicago’s unpredictable weather!). This past year has been a beautiful journey, and we can’t wait to begin our forever together.
