Bijon, a 30-year-old actress and entrepreneur, and Robert, a 33-year-old who works in ad tech, were both new to Los Angeles, California, around 10 years ago.
The only person they both knew was Bijon's cousin, so the trio started spending a lot of time together.
Bijon and Robert became fast friends, but the relationship was purely platonic, as they were both dating other people at the time.
They both became single around the time Bijon's sister was getting married in 2015, and Bijon invited Robert to be her date to the wedding.
He showed up to the wedding weekend with Bijon's favorite flowers, and he spent the next few days bonding with Bijon's father and aunts.
After seeing Robert interact with her family, Bijon knew he was the one.
"I was just like, 'Oh my God, this is my husband,'" she told Insider. The couple has been together ever since.
