How It All Began
Our Story
Xris was in marketing, and Hanieh was in Neuroscience. Yet, through friend group study sessions at the library, we met and became friends for a couple years before one day seeking out a red sangria.
One night, with the rest of our friend group away at Tavern in the Square, we decided to hang out. Just the two of us — in search of a place serving a red sangria on a late Saturday night.
After hopping from bar to bar, we finally found it — just for it to end up being a white sangria. Despite that, we spent hours talking and bonding that night.
Within our first year of dating, we were hit by a pandemic. Turns out, being stuck at home with the right person is pretty great.
One day we decided to go visit a shelter, just “to see” what they had. Next thing you know, we were walking out with a four legged friend and our carpets have been covered in hair ever since.
You'll get to meet him at our wedding!
Our first vacation together was in Havana, Cuba. Since then, we've made it a goal to travel and eat our way through the globe as often as possible.
Sometimes, that means traveling to London to watch Taylor Swift. Again.
Between the big adventures, it's the quiet everyday moments that mean the most. Cooking together, morning walks with Mocha, lazy Sundays on the couch.
With the Boston skyline as a backdrop, Xris proposed in the Seaport district on a beautiful April afternoon. And thus began fiancé life!
We can't wait to celebrate this next chapter with you.
