Just Engaged: Nadya and Jordache
By · Updated October 28, 2020
01
Nothing Can Keep Us Apart

Jordache and Nadya shared a long distance love for the first five years they were together. He was in D.C at Howard while she was way in Nashville at Vanderbilt. After graduation, Nadya moved to Philadelphia to attend medical school. They saw each other every two months, at best. “The distance made us really value the times when we saw each other,” she says.

Love On the Road

Nadya’s favorite memory with Jordache was a sweet trip for two. “When we were dating for a few months Jordache came to Nashville to visit me. We went on a road trip to the Chattanooga Aquarium. Although Chattanooga isn’t a prime vacation spot, we had such a fun time sightseeing. It was our first weekend away together.”

Meant to Be

“Because of all of the bragging on our moms’parts, I always thought fondly of Jordache even though we didn’t know each other,” says Nadya. “So when we started talking as adults, I somehow felt we were meant to be together almost instantly.”
