A decade of us

Ten years together this January, and a wedding to follow.

  1. The beginning

    2017

    A chance connection online sparked a relationship that officially began in 2017.

  2. The years in between

    2017–2025

    While growing individually through careers, studies, family, and friendships, Rhaff and Ish remained each other’s constant—ending every day by sharing their stories and building a life side by side.

  3. The proposal

    January 18, 2025

    Over a quiet eighth-anniversary dinner at Prologue in BGC, Rhaff asked Ish to marry him—marking the start of their next chapter together.
