If you ask Nadya: It all started six years ago when I was 15. I had met this wonderful girl in my freshman year of high school; her name was Ali. We hung out most days at her place. One day, her brother Nate brought a friend over. He was weird, loud, and obnoxious, but he was funny and had a cute face. Who wouldn't fall in love with that?! I developed a huge crush on this boy. Everyone called him Poobear, but after a quick browse on Instagram, I discovered his name was Dylan Miears. He had his Snapchat in his bio, so of course I had to shoot my shot, and he added me back! I was scared to reach out to him directly, so I posted a singing video to try to impress him—and it worked! He messaged me, saying I was insanely talented and that I should go on The Voice. So obviously, I knew he was obsessed and in love with me, haha! Time went by, and we were both with other people. I soon ended my relationship, and he told me that his had ended not too long ago. We started hanging out, just the two of us, and instantly clicked. He brought me to church with him and his family and came with me to buy my first Bible! He started teaching me how to drive and park, and he would bring me to and pick me up from my driver's ed classes—I passed the first time! (All that just for him to be driving us every time and anytime we need to go somewhere) I fell deeper in love with him. Within the same month, he asked me to be his girlfriend and told me he was going to marry me. He gave me a promise ring as a remembrance, which we still have to this day! Next thing you know, it was July 30, 2024, in NYC's Times Square when he proposed! <3

If you ask Dylan: For me it feels like yesterday, but in reality it started when I was 16. My best friend's name was Nathan Kleven and he and I would hangout at his place almost everyday. He had a little sister that would hang around with us sometimes and her name is Ali Kleven. One day Ali brought a friend home and that’s when everything changed. I remember seeing this cute little Asian girl sitting on the couch watching a movie. At that very moment I started making my moves AKA (RIZZ). One night Nate and Ali went to bed before Nadya and I, so I invited Nadya downstairs to hangout with me. I played guitar for her and she sang to me. I soon found out that she had a HUGE crush on me AKA (RIZZED). Then I strategically said I would go with her and Ali to the mall. Ali ended up canceling and my plan was in motion! I told Nadya I’ll pick her up and we could just go together. I like to call this our first date! To make it a memorable moment, we went to Build-A-Bear and got matching teddy bear’s. Soon after we shared our first Kiss and I asked her to be my girlfriend! After a week of dating I knew no matter how hard it got, I wanted to end up married to her; So I promised her I would make her my wife one day and gave her a promise ring to remind her of my promise every time she looked at it. I’m very happy to say I get to keep that promise and am now marrying the love of my life and the wonderful woman I’ve wanted since I was 16. Thank you all for being witnesses to that promise.
