Our story began in September 2015, in a 3rd floor classroom at Teachers College. The class was child psychopathology. One of us (Khairee) had arrived early and had found the perfect seat in the middle of the middle row; the other (Dan) came strolling in with only seconds to spare, wearing a ridiculous t-shirt that probably was not the most appropriate for the setting. Neither of us even considered the possibility that our future spouse was sitting in that classroom.

One and a half years later we officially became a couple and graduated from Teachers College.

Within a few months of that, we did what many people in NYC do to save money and made the calculated decision to move in together.

While cohabiting early in a relationship can be potentially problematic for new couples, for us, it was absolutely the right decision.

Being two proud anime and video game nerds, we quickly realized that not only did we move in with our romantic partner, but we also moved in with a best friend who would always be excited to engage in our hobbies together.

Fast forward several years and one pandemic later, and we find ourselves in Jesse’s Steak House in Hanover, NH. While sitting in the same booth that Dan’s parents would use every year for their anniversary dinner, Dan popped the “question” and we got engaged! And now, here we are, gearing up for our wedding and planning the next steps of our lives.

We could not be more excited about finally tying the knot and we look forward to sharing our love and this pivotal moment with our closest friends and families.
