Tosin and Avia grew up in neighboring New York towns — Tosin in Hartsdale and Avia in White Plains. Tosin’s house was just a 5-10 minute walk from Avia’s grandparents’ house and the two knew a bunch of the same people. And yet — they didn’t meet until they were both out of college, 23 years old, and running around New York City. In true millennial fashion, the dating app Hinge brought the two together, over a pun Tosin made about The Office.

Since they started dating in fall 2018, the two have cheered on the Knicks through good times (and not-so-good times), kept each other sane during a pandemic, and made an alarming number of stops at their favorite spots like Sundaes & Cones, Prince St Pizza, JG Melon, Barboncino, and FancyFree. Between quick weekend getaways, friends’ destination weddings, and vacations, Tosin and Avia have been to Chicago, Cape Cod, Charleston, Hanover, Miami, and Philadelphia, as well as other countries like Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Spain, and France (and they’re just getting started). Most recently, the pair got a puppy named Hugo, who wants to be everyone’s friend, loves ice cubes, and like Tosin and Avia, is ready to eat at all times.

Next stop: keeping the adventures coming as husband and wife. We can’t wait to see all of our favorite people from around the world come together to celebrate under one roof. We love you!

Counting down the days,

Tosin & Avia
