I'm a bellydancer, cat lover, nerd (anime, videogames, boardgames, puzzle games, LEGEND OF ZELDA, My little pony, Steven universe, foreign TV/movie watched in subtitles especially dramas, etc). Not your typical bride 👰. Oh and I started a new career path working with people on the autistic spectrum and other disabilities. Future husband does the same for a different non-profit.

Happily married 🎉
