Our Story

It all started with a swipe — Jordan was Taina’s very first online date, and from that night on, neither of us looked back. We met in November 2018 at the California Clipper Lounge in Humboldt Park (Jordan’s strategic pick), where we talked for hours until Taina had to rush off to meet friends — a little late, but already a little smitten.

Since then, we’ve built a life full of laughter, dancing, travel, horror movie marathons, homemade meals, gym dates, and big dreams. From cozy weekends to navigating a one-bedroom apartment during lockdown, we’ve grown stronger through every chapter.

Jordan proposed in Honolulu, Hawaii on January 17, 2025 — just before a business conference, of course (classic efficiency). Now, after nearly seven years of love and adventure, we can’t wait to celebrate the next step with all of you.
