Our Story
We met on June 7, 2023, in Tallahassee, while we were both leading the Young Scholars Program at Florida State University. In a small-world twist, Luke’s brother, JT, had led the very same program when Margarita was a student there two years earlier. Just over a month later, on July 13, we officially started dating. For the rest of college, our relationship was largely long-distance, filled with plenty of flights, road trips, and time spent counting down to the next visit. We both graduated early and finally found ourselves in the same city when we moved to Boston, where Margarita was completing her master’s and Luke was working as an intern. After Boston, we made New York City home together. On August 22, 2026 Luke proposed aboard a sailboat on the Hudson River, beginning our favorite chapter yet. Three years after we first started dating, we could not be more excited to celebrate our wedding with the people who have been part of our lives this whole time!
