Our Story

Life is easier when you date your best friend. We are comfortable to be our true selfs and look forward to exploring new places, ideas, and interests.

We didn't meet each other right away though. Coincidentally we both grew up in Ukraine and attended the same university, but it wasn't until two years after we met each other at work that we discovered a much deeper connection.

After a few months, we made our first trip to Paris. It was a week of enjoying museums, art galleries, the opera, and French culture. On the last day, we went on an evening boat cruise for Valentine's Day. Once the Eiffel Tower lighted up, Sunny got down on one knee to propose. This was a magical night to remember.

As an engaged couple, we were now thinking of where we truly wanted to spend our time. This resulted in a plan for an ambitious move to New York, a city that closely matches our personality. So, we did exactly that.


We now invite you here to celebrate with us together.
