Our Story
Dima and Kimmi attended Glenbrook North High School. They shared some friends but didn't hang out much and didn't suspect what the future held for them. Kimmi taught Dima’s sister in Ice Skating and Dance camp. They both went on to study at University of Illinois Champaign and occasionally ran into one another. After college, Kimmi flew off to Germany and Dima settled down in Chicago. Two years later, when Kimmi moved back to Chicago, their friendship was rekindled by a shared love of electronic music. They began spending time together on the weekends, joined a volleyball league, began dating in April 2012, and have been inseparable since.
Our Proposal
On Kimmi’s birthday, the same day she graduated from her MBA program, Dima surprised her with a very special present - a trip to Miami!! Upon their arrival Dima started showering Kimmi with roses and chocolate. Despite the forecast, the weather turned out perfect. The sun was shining and the birds were singing a joyous tune. Kimmi and Dima decided to go for a bike ride and he knew the moment was ripening. But where to hide the ring? Thinking quickly, he waited for Kimmi to turn her back for a second and tied the ring inside his basketball shorts. They rented bikes and rode to the beautiful Vizcaya Gardens, perched atop Biscayne Bay. They toured the grounds until they happened upon a secret secluded spot. And as they say, the rest is history.
