Our Story

We Had Chemistry

Picture of We Had Chemistry

In 2018, we were both entering our first year of college as Forensic Science majors at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in NYC. The first class we had, as students and together, was a general chemistry class. In that class, we admired each other from afar, seeing each other occasionally in our major-required science classes. Once our separate friend groups started to merge, we flirted unabashedly, with some spurred on by a spontaneous blood donation day. After a date at Central Park and some pizza at Strokos, we made it official on November 16, 2018!

After one year together, we'd learned so much! We shared a love of food, animals, travel, and most importantly, we shared wanting a future with each other.

Two years! We've been through a lot: a pandemic that made us long-distance for about two months, new jobs, new hair! In this year, we've met family, traveled a little more, and gone through some pretty challenging times.

Three whole years?! So much has changed! We started to budget and save to move in together. We went through even more hard times but always came out stronger. We started talking more and more about our future and what we wanted.

Four and a bunch more! We've moved in! We are happier than ever, doing all the things we've wanted to do, but there's one more thing...

We're engaged!!! And that's what brings us to the present. Now we are navigating the joys of wedding planning but also preparing for our marriage and lives together. We couldn't be happier!
