Our story

Sometimes, love finds you when you least expect it. In May 2020, in the midst of a world turned upside down, we met on a Habesha dating app called Jebena - not knowing that God was already writing our love story. What started as a simple swipe soon became something special.

With miles between us and a global pandemic unfolding, we faced challenges that only strengthened our bond. Through countless FaceTime calls, heartfelt messages, and flights between Ottawa and New York City, our love continued to grow. Every reunion was a reminder that distance was no match for what we were building together.

By September 2024, we said "I do" and stepped into the beautiful covenant of marriage, grateful for the journey that led us here. But love is meant to be shared, and now, we can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you.

Through every step, God’s plan has been greater than our own, and we are so excited for what’s ahead. We hope you’ll join us as we celebrate this beautiful blessing together!
