We first met on Bumble in 2022. Sanny in College Station and Nauder in Baytown, and decided to meet halfway in Houston.

For Sanny, it was more of a dating game, she had her close friends weighing in on who she should meet or not, Nauder got the date approval, and the rest was history...

Our very first date was at the Holocaust Museum, of all places, because they were hosting a special Ruth Bader Ginsburg exhibit that Sanny was so excited to see. Definitely not your typical first-date spot, but from the moment we met, it felt like we had known each other forever.

What was supposed to be a quick museum date turned into a whole day together, we simply didn’t want it to end.

After the museum, Nauder asked where Sanny wanted to go for dinner, and of course she picked her favorite, Chuy’s. Over cheesy Tex-Mex in a booth, we dove into stories about our childhoods, our families, and our lives, talking like two people who could have stayed there forever. Nauder still remembers the way Sanny ordered her quesadillas “extra crispy” a little detail he’s never forgotten and still gets for her to this day.

But the night didn’t stop there. We wandered over to a beautiful temple we’d both never heard of before (pictured above), then grabbed ice cream and strolled through the shops at Memorial City. Under the Houston night sky, we had our first kiss before saying goodbye in front of the museum where it all began.

The very next day, we went on our second date, and from then on, we never really stopped seeing each other. That one Bumble swipe turned into forever, and now, here we are, getting married.
