It was 2017 when fate first brought us together. Gil, the security director for Jay-Z’s tour, was busy overseeing everything behind the scenes, while Emma, a curious soul with an eye for adventure, found herself sitting in on one of his security meetings. Their first encounter was brief, but it was enough for them to lock eyes—an unspoken connection that neither of them quite understood at the time.

They stayed in touch as friends over the years, sharing book recommendations, exchanging stories, and meeting up for occasional dinners and lunches. The friendship grew, yet neither of them could have predicted what would happen next.

In 2019, while Gil was in Los Angeles for the Jonas Brothers' concert, he and Emma reconnected. This time, their meeting was different. When they hugged, something shifted. It wasn’t just a hug—it was a moment that changed everything. Their friends noticed the spark between them, and from that point on, there was no going back.

The bond they shared quickly blossomed into something deeper, and by June 13, 2024, Gil proposed to Emma in the enchanting city of Paris. The moment was pure magic—a dream come true in a place that will forever hold a special place in their hearts. Now, as they prepare to celebrate their love and commitment, they can't wait to return to Paris for their two-year engagement anniversary to exchange vows in front of friends and family, officially starting this beautiful new chapter together.

The rest, as they say, is history.
