Nina and Christian met on May 15, 2018,
in New York City.

nina was introduced to christian by her design school classmate allison (who just so happened to be christian’s middle sister). after some back and forth on the potential date setup, it was decided that Nina and Christian would meet at a parsons graduation dinner to break the ice. When the two locked eyes in the freehand hotel lobby, there was something undeniably there. After some awkward SMALL TALK, a game of musical chairs, and giggles from all sides OF the table AS the obvious setup ENSUED, Nina and Christian sat side by side for an evening that would change their lives forever. a huge thanks to Allie for the incredible setup! sisters do always know best.

fast forward through the first dates, the meeting of friends and families, traveling together, and lots of heated backgammon games. 6 months later CHRISTIAN FOUND OUT HE WAS BEING RELOCATED FOR WORK AND asked Nina to move WITH HIM to sunny Los Angeles, California. It was the easiest yes of HER life, second to agreeing to marry Christian on November 13, 2021, in their apartment in Manhattan Beach, California.
