We were married on August 24th, 1996, at Saint Gregory the Illuminator Armenian Church in Athens, Greece. Our stay lasted about three months, during which we celebrated our wedding and honeymoon in this beautiful country.

At the time, I was transitioning from my role at Mouawad and, in September 1996, I joined Bulgari as PR Director and Gemology Trainer at their first store in Dubai, UAE. I played a key role in the launch of their second store in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

In 1997, we welcomed our firstborn, Albert, in Abu Dhabi, who was born American. Toward the end of 1997, we made the decision to relocate to California to settle and raise our family. In 2000, our second son, Philip, was born.
