It all started with a kickoff at work. Moheni joined the company on August 31, 2020, and exactly two years later, Riley joined the roster on August 31, 2022. Looking back, it’s clear the universe had a playbook all along.

Our first big “team bonding” moment came during a work trip where we went deep-sea fishing. While our coworkers struggled to stay steady, we were the only ones who didn’t get seasick. Safe to say, we earned MVP status on that boat.

After a year of working together and becoming close friends, Moheni decided to take up a new hobby: learning football (okay, mostly to impress Riley). Around this time, she had tickets to a Chiefs vs. Bears game in Kansas City—Riley’s family are die-hard Bears fans, while Moheni’s family is all about the Chiefs. A rivalry was brewing, but the real game-changer happened the day before.

On a whim, Moheni scored tickets to the Mizzou vs. Memphis game in St. Louis and convinced Riley to join her. What started as a casual outing turned into the day we both realized we’d found something special.

Two years later, on August 31, 2024, we got engaged—cementing August 31 as our personal championship date. And exactly a year after that, on August 30, 2025, we’ll be walking down the aisle and officially teaming up for life.

Two rival teams, one love story. And somehow, no penalties along the way.
