Tanaz & Vince are getting married

I remember that day at the boba shop so clearly. I was nervous about hosting the club event, but there was something about this quiet freshman with two milk teas that made me smile. He seemed a little lost but determined to make friends.

Through college, we became friends first. I watched him grow from that shy freshman into someone confident and funny. Even during our long-distance years, he never stopped making me laugh with his random texts and terrible puns.

When he proposed, I realized that somewhere along the way, my best friend had become the love of my life. I can't wait to start this new chapter with him.

I was terrified that first week of college. When I saw her at the boba shop, confident and welcoming everyone, I knew I wanted to be her friend. Getting two drinks gave me an excuse to stay in line longer and maybe work up the courage to talk to her.

She became my anchor through college and beyond. During the hardest times - moving across the country, changing careers, a global pandemic - she was always there with wisdom, support, and somehow always knew exactly what to say.

Proposing was the easiest decision I've ever made. She's been my best friend for over a decade, and I want to spend the rest of my life making her as happy as she makes me.
