As the saying goes, moms know best…

Our parents' mutual friends, Peggy and her late husband, Sarkis Balabanian, believed we were meant to be together.

After years of hearing about each other, we finally met at a casual BBQ at the Balabanians’ home (thanks to a little nudge from our parents).

Not long after, we went on our first date with our (ahem... emotional support) dogs, and to our pleasant surprise, the connection was immediate. Our subsequent outings (mostly to Sushi Den...) only deepened our bond, revealing just how much we had in common. It felt as if we had known each other for years.

One of our greatest joys is traveling together—exploring new places and creating unforgettable memories. We're always ready to seek out the next thrilling experience (except for cruise ships... that's a long story!).

We feel incredibly blessed to have found each other and are excited to share our love with our wonderful family and friends!
