We met at Georgetown...
Dina first caught Russell's eye during an Introduction to Marketing class during their sophomore year, but they did not initially meet until a few months later in February 2011 at a restaurant in Georgetown. Dina first approached Russell that night, and in one of Russell's smoother moments, he told Dina, "You owe me a dance," to which she responded, "NO, you owe ME a dance." As you may have guessed, a dance was had!
During the Summer, Dina and Russell started dating, and on July 4th -- precisely one week after they were officially a couple -- Russell told Dina he loved her for the first time. Dina, who likes to keep Russell on his toes, waited a couple days before she said it back.

We were apart for a year and a half...
A couple years later in May 2013, they both graduated from Georgetown University, and after a wonderful Summer, were apart for about a year and a half when Russell moved to New York to start his career and Dina stayed in the Washington, DC area to start hers.
The Proposal
The Proposal
A sunset to remember...
After many buses, trains, and flights, Russell moved back to DC in November of 2014, and proposed just over a year later on New Year's Eve in Naples, Florida while on vacation with Dina and her family. He proposed on a balcony as the sun was setting over the canal.
