In the sprawling metropolis of Los Angeles, where dreams are born and destinies intertwine, a love story unfolded for two proud Armenian-American Angelenos that would transcend the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary. It began in the traditional, old-fashioned realm of Bumble, where amidst a sea of profiles, Serge, a kind-hearted soul with a penchant for adventure, found himself captivated by the radiant presence of Tina, a spirited and warm-hearted woman whose energy seemed to light up the screen.

With a simple swipe, Serge took a chance, little knowing that he would soon become the answer to Tina's prayers, a comforting presence in her darkest hours of grief. As they exchanged messages filled with laughter, shared interests, and heartfelt conversations, Serge discovered a connection that went beyond words—a bond forged in the fires of loss and strengthened by the winds of love.

On their first date, Serge could be described as one handsome, stoic, intelligent, true gentleman Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy... and Tina perhaps a bold, independent, witty Elizabeth Bennet... one fiery combination. After about an hour at the sushi joint (few nervous sakes in)... Serge's once-cool demeanor melted away in the warmth of Tina's embrace, giving way to a deep sense of connection and understanding. As they spent hours lost in conversation, sharing their dreams, fears, and favorite things, Serge realized that Tina was everything he had ever hoped for and more.

Tina, in turn, found in Serge the embodiment of all she had ever wished for—a kind, warm-hearted, romantic old soul with a passion for life and a love for animals, a clandestine true rocker at heart. Little did they know on their first date, Serge & Tina found what would later be defined as their best friend, coffee shop & museum hopping adventurer, travel buddy, cosplaying counterpart, and Sun & Stars. It often felt too good to be true... that their love was a classic Old Hollywood RomCom filled with ebbing romance, fun, dry humor, adventure, carpool karaoke, & lots and lots of cheesiness! (Serge would like to set a disclaimer "I have never been cheesy a day in my life!"... although much to his dismay he is a young Mr. Darcy, remember... sigh )

Their first date was just the beginning of a journey that would lead them down the winding paths of love and discovery. With each passing day, their bond grew stronger, fueled by shared passions, shared dreams, being true rocker-nerds at heart, and a shared love for each other that knew no bounds. Together, they were unstoppable, their love story a testament to the power of resilience, compassion, and the unbreakable bond that united their hearts. In each other's arms, they found solace, strength, and the promise of a brighter tomorrow—a love as timeless and enduring as the city that brought them together.

The couple would like to share their sincere gratitude to their families and friends for sharing in their journey of love, for always sticking through the highs and the lows. Although their magical day will be missing a few very special people, Serge and Tina find comfort in knowing they will be present in spirit. The couple is beyond excited to celebrate their union with all the people they love!
