Jacob and Tiffany first met as business students at the University of Arizona. They were in the same major but had hardly interacted. It wasn’t until senior year that Tiff realized she had a tiny crush on Jacob while sitting in class and watching him present his assignment. Tiff found herself wondering how she'd overlook this smart, confident, and very handsome classmate of hers.

A few nights before graduation, they bumped into each other at No Anchovies, Tucson’s iconic pizza spot and college hangout. Tiff's friend Kyli, who has lovingly referred to her as “Tiffahn” since freshman year, came up to Jacob and said "Tiffahn thinks you're cute." Jacob, clearly confused, replied, "Who is Stefon?" After the little mix-up was cleared up, Jacob decided to ask Tiff to dance.

Their story could have started there, but timing had other plans. Shortly after that encounter, they graduated and Jacob moved to New York City to begin his finance career at Goldman Sachs, while Tiff returned home to Phoenix to work as a data analyst at American Express. Though miles apart, they stayed in contact from time to time, never fully losing touch.

Two years later, ready for a change and drawn to the vibrant energy of city life, Tiff secured a transfer to Amex’s New York headquarters—coincidentally located right across the street from Jacob’s office in Tribeca. Fate intervened just a few weeks after Tiff settled into her new apartment. On a November night in 2020, Jacob happened to be out with his cousin, wandering down Saint Marks Place—the very street where Tiff now lived. As she headed to CVS, their paths crossed. In a city of eight million, it felt like an invisible string had been quietly pulling them back to each other all along.

That encounter sparked a friendship reboot, and after countless nights exploring the city and swapping stories, they began to fall in love. Together, they enjoy traveling the world, hosting game nights with friends, and experimenting with new recipes.

Now, they can’t wait to celebrate their next chapter on another November night, surrounded by loved ones, and toast to the special kind of magic that November nights in New York always seem to bring.
