We first hung out in a group setting, surrounded by friends from both of our worlds. A fun night of mini-golf at PopStroke in Fort Myers. What started as a casual hangout quickly turned into something more - both Iris and Jaymin found themselves catching feelings that night, stomaches full of butterflies.

From there, things took off: daily texts, constant laughter, and an instant connection. Our first real date was at Dave & Buster’s! A perfect choice since Iris loves games and both are pretty competitive. We had a blast, shared so many laughs, and left knowing this was the start of something special.

For Iris, it was the way Jaymin made her laugh from the very beginning, and if you know her, you know that she absolutely loves to laugh. She always says laughter is the best medicine. Jaymin brought a sense of calm, safety, and comfort into her life. He became her home.

For Jaymin, it was Iris's sweet and caring nature. He loved the way that she laughed, and that he could make her laugh so easily. Conversations and interactions were easy for us.

As our relationship grew, so did our bond that we built on shared values, mutual support, and unforgettable moments.

One of those unforgettable moments happened during a magical trip to La Fortuna, Costa Rica. Dressed up for what Iris thought was just a fancy dinner, we took a walk across a bridge overlooking the water. We paused to take some photos, and when we reached the top of the bridge, Jaymin got down on one knee and asked Iris to marry him.

Together, we love to travel and explore new places, but even more, we love doing life side by side. Whether we’re riding roller coasters, kayaking, ziplining, rock climbing, or just enjoying each other’s company on a spontaneous day trip, we’re always up for an adventure. We’re so excited for this next chapter and can’t wait to celebrate with all of you, the people we love most!
