In early 2022, two hopeful skeptics decided to (bravely) try for love – one more time. We matched on Bumble in April and quickly discovered two very important things: we both love 90s hip-hop, and we both write very long messages.

After weeks of exchanging chapter-long messages, we had our first phone call, which lasted more than three hours. We talked about everything from basketball to faith, life, families, music, and our journeys in non-profit work. When we hung up, we both felt it: excitement mixed with that quiet,

careful optimism that comes from knowing what it took to get there.

Our first date followed on May 29 at LaScala in Pennsauken, where we talked for hours, including some not-so-subtle interrogation, and felt instant chemistry. When we got home that night, we sent almost simultaneous texts saying that we may be in (very good) trouble.

By that summer, we were road-tripping to Niagara Falls, sharing playlists and stories the entire way. By September, we were wandering the streets of Paris, a little amazed at how naturally this love was unfolding—how safe it felt, how right it felt.

Since then, we've joined families, traveled a lot, laughed even

more, and made each other's lives so much fuller and brighter. We often wondered why people say that when you find the right one, you just know. But now – we get it.

We also discovered our shared passion for real estate and decided to start a business together. We bought short-term rental properties and launched a property management business. Our motto, What Could Go Right, turned out to be more than a phrase—it became a way of loving each other and building a life we love, side by side.

In September 2023, we moved in together, officially blending lives that were already full and deeply loved. That includes our incredible kids—Juke, Eli, and Jasmine—and two grand babies, Tre and Kai, who all bring us joy every day. And of course, Ellie, our sweet, very spoiled pit bull, was thrilled to have us both in the same house.

On September 25, 2025, on Pam’s birthday, what she thought was a simple birthday dinner turned into something unforgettable. At one of our favorite restaurants, Cuba Libre, Omar got down on one knee and said he had never been more sure of anything in his life. Pam, completely stunned, could only ask, “Really? Really?”—until she finally stood up and said YES.

Since then, we’ve continued building our life, our family, and our business—grateful for the timing, the growth, and the love that brought us here. We’ve both had full lives, which you’ve all been integral parts of. And now we’re so grateful to have all of your love and support as we embark on this

new adventure. We can't wait to celebrate this chapter with our closest family and friends—a chapter full of love, laughter, family, adventure, and answering the question that started it all… what could go right?
