The Ancestors Confirmed.After Jessica Assaf wrote down the qualities of her ideal partner, she had a revelation at Burning Man: She had found everything she was looking for in Dean Prince.Share full articleJessica Assaf and Dr. Dean Prince were married on July 19 at Gjusta, a bakery and cafe in the Venice neighborhood of Los Angeles.Credit...Annie McElwainBy Valeriya SafronovaAug. 8, 2025On Sept. 2, 2023, Jessica Sara Assaf grabbed her bags and left the Burning Man camp in the Nevada desert on foot after heavy rain stranded thousands of attendees there.\u201cI had this feeling that I needed to get back to my love,\u201d said Ms. Assaf, referring to Dr. Dean William Prince, whom she had met two weeks earlier. \u201cSome people believe that gut feeling is your ancestors. The inner voice is so strong when you listen to it.\u201dShe walked five miles barefoot through the mud until she reached a pickup point for a shuttle to Reno, Nev.\u201cI kept saying the Jews have done harder things,\u201d said Ms. Assaf, who is Jewish.Before heading to the airport, she stopped at Walmart to buy shoes. When she landed in Los Angeles, Dr. Prince picked her up from the airport and the two immediately began living together. At first, they stayed in hotels and Airbnbs that they rented for short periods. Then, that November, they moved into a rental apartment in the Venice neighborhood of Los Angeles.\u201cI couldn\u2019t get enough of her,\u201d said Dr. Prince, a general surgeon with San Fernando Valley Cancer Center who practices at Valley Presbyterian Hospital in the Van Nuys section of Los Angeles. \u201cThere\u2019s just so much to know about this person. How can I get it all as fast as I can? I was 35, and you go through so much from a dating standpoint, so you know what you want at that age. I wasn\u2019t looking to play games.\u201dImageMs. Assaf and Dr. Prince were set up by his brother-in-law, but they lived on opposite coasts, so nothing came of it until she was in Los Angeles for a wedding and they happened to match on Hinge.Credit...Annie McElwainDr. Prince, now 37, was born and raised in Los Angeles. He has a bachelor\u2019s degree in sports and exercise from the University of San Francisco and a medical degree and a master\u2019s of public health from St. George\u2019s University in Grenada. He decided to become a doctor because his grandmother, Ester Tepper, a Holocaust survivor who died in 2017, told him he should.Out of 12 grandchildren, Dr. Prince said, \u201cmy grandmother singled me out and told me I would be a doctor.\u201d He added: \u201cI respected her so much from her story of survival. My whole life is because of her. I had this destiny to be who she wanted me to be.\u201dMs. Assaf, 35, recently left her role as director of communications for OSEA Malibu, a skin care company, to start a healthy candy company. She is also an adviser to Prima, a CBD wellness company she co-founded in 2018. Before starting Prima, Ms. Assaf created Cannabis Feminist, a cannabis community for women that operated primarily on Instagram.She was born in Chicago and grew up in San Rafael, Calif., before moving to New York, where she received a bachelor\u2019s degree in public health, documentary film and social activism from the New York University Gallatin School of Individualized Study. In 2016, Ms. Assaf earned an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.In January 2023, after a failed merger, Ms. Assaf and her business partners decided to sell Prima to keep it alive.\u201cIt felt like sudden death, like my company had a heart attack,\u201d Ms. Assaf said.ImageMs. Assaf and Dr. Prince wrote each of their guests a letter, and she sealed each one with a red-lipstick kiss.Credit...Annie McElwainA few months later, Ms. Assaf began working as a consultant at OSEA Malibu, and in April 2023, during the company\u2019s team retreat, a friend of hers, Ryan Weiss, asked if she was single. He wanted to set her up with his brother-in-law, Dr. Prince.A short while later, Mr. Weiss showed Ms. Assaf\u2019s Instagram to Dr. Prince. \u201cRyan said, \u2018I met this amazing Jewish girl, she lives in New York, she seems like she\u2019d be a great match for you,\u201d Dr. Prince said. \u201cI was like, She\u2019s super-cute, but then I thought, This is never going to work out. I had just moved to L.A. and was starting my life.\u201dA few months later, on Aug. 18, 2023, Ms. Assaf was in Los Angeles for her brother\u2019s wedding when she opened Hinge and saw that Dr. Prince had liked her.\u201cI realized he was the guy, but he didn\u2019t know I was the girl,\u201d Ms. Assaf said. \u201cMy first words were, \u2018Wow, it\u2019s fate. Ryan\u2019s been trying to set us up.\u2019\u201dBinge more Vows columns here and read all our wedding, relationship and divorce coverage here.When Dr. Prince called her later that day, Ms. Assaf invited him to meet her, her three younger siblings and two of their fianc\u00e9es at Upstairs at the Ace Hotel, a rooftop bar that is now closed. He agreed.\u201cRyan had talked her up so much, and I\u2019d been dating in L.A. without success,\u201d Dr. Prince said. \u201cI really trust my brother-in-law and his intuition.\u201dImageWeeks before meeting Dr. Prince, Ms. Assaf made a list of qualities she wanted in a husband. After they met, she said, \u201cI knew he was the one.\u201dCredit...Annie McElwainAt the bar, he bought Ms. Assaf and her family members tequila shots before the two of them found a spot to talk alone.Two weeks before meeting Dr. Prince, Ms. Assaf had written a letter to her future partner \u2014 telling him she had spent five years preparing for him and thanking her ancestors \u2014 as part of an exercise from a self-help book she was reading, \u201cCalling in \u2018the One.\u2019\u201d\u201cI\u2019d had an experience where I settled for a love I ultimately didn\u2019t want,\u201d Ms. Assaf said, referring to her first marriage, which ended in divorce in 2019.This time, she wanted to be more intentional, so she made a list of qualities she wanted in a husband.\u201cI wrote such specific things,\u201d she said, including \u201cloves his mom so much\u201d and \u201cloves fitness and loves pizza.\u201dWhen they met, she realized how aligned Dr. Prince was with everything she wanted.\u201cWe had a deep conversation about life, our passions, and I actually kissed him,\u201d Ms. Assaf said. \u201cWe swapped phones that night and saw that we only save voicemails from our grandparents. That was the moment I knew he was the one. His dad is a New Yorker and his mom is Israeli, and my mom is a New Yorker and my dad is Israeli. It felt like two puzzle pieces.\u201dDr. Prince said he felt as if he had known Ms. Assaf forever. \u201cFrom the onset, it was so warm and loving and intuitive, it didn\u2019t feel like a first date,\u201d he said.ImageThe couple\u2019s wedding cake was made using raw sugar, at the bride\u2019s request, and was covered with flowers and fruit.Credit...Annie McElwainImageA Pavlova was served at the after-party.Credit...Annie McElwainThe next week, Dr. Prince took Ms. Assaf on a date every single day, each time to one of her favorite Los Angeles restaurants, including Wabi on Rose, Night + Market Sahm, Dudley Market and Gjusta. At the time, Dr. Prince lived with his parents, Bati and Brian Prince, so every night, he booked a different hotel room for himself and Ms. Assaf.Dr. Prince introduced his parents to Ms. Assaf over dinner during their second week of dating.\u201cI was like, \u2018I\u2019m very serious about your son,\u2019\u201d Ms. Assaf said.\u201cThey\u2019d never seen me so stir crazy about a girl before,\u201d Dr. Prince said.One year after they met, on Aug. 18, 2024, Dr. Prince woke up, went downstairs and found a long love letter from Ms. Assaf that brought him to tears.\u201cI had the ring for a week prior, and I was so excited to give it to her,\u201d Dr. Prince said. \u201cI was planning a beach picnic proposal, but I was so taken aback by that letter that I felt like I had to propose right then and there.\u201dAfter Ms. Assaf said yes, they went to Erewhon to pick up sandwiches and kombucha, and then headed to Venice Beach to stage a proposal with photos and videos to share with family and friends.ImageThe bride received a kiss from her grandfather, Sidney Silver, during the reception.Credit...Annie McElwainTen months later, on June 12, 2025, Ms. Assaf proposed to Dr. Prince at Dudley Market.\u201cI pulled him out of his seat, got down on one knee and put the wedding ring on his finger,\u201d Ms. Assaf said.\u201cJess is so quirky and cute and thoughtful like that,\u201d Dr. Prince said. \u201cShe always finds opportunities to make a joyful moment.\u201dDr. Prince and Ms. Assaf were married on July 19 by Rabbi Steven Z. Leder of the Wilshire Boulevard Temple in front of 80 people at Gjusta, a bakery and cafe in Venice.Ms. Assaf and Dr. Prince joined Wilshire Boulevard Temple specifically so Rabbi Leder, who is planning to retire later this year, would officiate their wedding.\u201cI love his writings on grief,\u201d Ms. Assaf said of Rabbi Leder, who has written four books. \u201cHe coined this idea that grief is unused love with nowhere to go. I always turned to him in moments of darkness, so to have him officiate is really meaningful to me.\u201dMs. Assaf walked down the aisle to an acoustic guitar performance of \u201cOne Love\u201d by Bob Marley. Thirteen people gave speeches, including siblings and parents of the bride and groom; Mr. Weiss, who set them up; Sidney Silver, Ms. Assaf\u2019s 93-year-old maternal grandfather; and Gloria Prince, Dr. Prince\u2019s 93-year-old paternal grandmother.For the after-party, Ms. Assaf and Dr. Prince rented out the Rose Room, an event space on Venice Beach, where they hung poster boards of Ms. Assaf and Dr. Prince\u2019s exchange on Hinge onto the walls, along with her text conversation about Dr. Prince with Mr. Weiss.ImageFor the after-party at the Rose Room near Venice Beach, the couple hung posters of their Hinge messages and her texts about Dr. Prince on the walls.Credit...Annie McElwainThey rented a sound system from a collective called Robot Heart, which sets up a camp at Burning Man, and several of their friends were asked to D.J., including Samantha Urbani, Henry Pope and Drew Gold.As a nod to Ms. Assaf\u2019s cannabis ventures, they included a bar stocked with weed gummies from Rose Los Angeles and Pax, cannabis prerolls from 710 Labs and vapes from Pax. The couple also served a psilocybin-infused mezcal.Their friend Ben Gleib closed the night with a roast.\u201cThe whole day and night felt like a big cuddle puddle, and, of course, we did have an actual cuddle puddle at the after-party,\u201d Ms. Assaf said. \u201cOne friend said it felt like she was at Burning Man, which is the highest compliment we could ever have gotten.\u201dOn This DayWhen July 19, 2025Where Gjusta, Venice neighborhood of Los AngelesDress Intuitively Ms. Assaf went to one bridal wear appointment and found it \u201cuncomfortable and performative,\u201d she said, so she asked her sister to go to a vintage store in Brooklyn, Desert Stars Vintage, and try on a few dresses. \u201cI said, \u2018That\u2019s the one,\u2019 and she shipped it to me,\u201d Ms. Assaf said.Sugar-Free Ms. Assaf doesn\u2019t eat refined sugar, so she asked Rose Wilde to make a cake covered in flowers and fruit like kiwi, orange and strawberries, as well as a Pavlova for the after-party, both using only raw sugar. \u201cI\u2019m a health freak,\u201d Ms. Assaf said.Sealed With a Kiss Rather than using name cards at dinner, Ms. Assaf and Dr. Prince wrote each of their guests a letter. Ms. Assaf kissed every single one with lipstick. \u201cSo many people at the dinner were part of our love story,\u201d she said.A version of this article appears in print on Aug. 10, 2025, Section ST, Page 12 of the New York edition with the headline: After Reading Her Letter, He Couldn\u2019t Wait to Propose.
