A sunny summer afternoon in Washington DC is where this love story began. Minas and Missy met in 2007, while both were visiting DC. In 2009, Minas and Missy started talking on the phone and getting to know each other more. After six months of getting to know each other, they decided it would be great to meet up. Both being very competitive, they made a bet on the New York Giants vs San Diego Chargers football game. Whoever’s team loses, that person would have to come visit the other. Of course, Missy won the bet so Minas traveled to Los Angeles as Missy was celebrating her birthday with friends. That weekend was magical, filled with rich conversation, amazing food, non-stop laughs, great vibes, and accidentally matching clothes every night, lol. This led to Minas and Missy taking their relationship to another level and becoming exclusive. She taught him how to use chop sticks while he taught her that folding is the only way to eat a pizza. They were together for three years, taking turns visiting and spending time with each other. Over time, the distance proved to be difficult and although the person was right, the timing wasn’t. Fast forward to a decade or so later in 2020, during the pandemic, they found their way back to each other. They did not miss a beat and spoke like it was 2009 all over again. Virtual wine dates eventually led to this time Missy coming to New York for Minas’ birthday. During that weekend they realized their love for each other is deep and goes further than the miles between NYC & Cali. Being that their relationship was built off of travel it was only right Minas asked Missy to marry him in Paris while they were on their Euro Trip. We hope you can help us celebrate our union and this next journey in our lives!
