Joran and [[Rana Apar]] first met when she joined [[Nova Squadron]], which Joran was co-captain of in 2402. They sparked a friendship, which over time developed into something more. When Joran took her with him to visit his father and brother in [[Methuen]], the city where he grew up, for winter break, it was apparent to all around them that they were falling for each other. They were right.

Joran and [[Rana Apar|Rana]] shared their first kiss under the [[mistletoe]] at his father's home on Christmas Eve, 2402. From that point on, they were inseperable. Even though some people may say that too much time together is detrimental to a relationship, it was not the case here. Joran has said, that if it was allowed, he would have moved off-campus with her and attended classes that way. However, living off-campus was forbidden at the [[Starfleet Academy|Academy]]

When he graduated and went onto Advanced Training, he kept in contact with her every night back at [[Starfleet Academy]] and the two began a long-distance relationship. Over time, however, the two lost touch, and were only reunited when she was posted on the [[USS Paladin (NCC-52776)|USS ''Paladin'' (NCC-52776)]] as [[Assistant Tactical Officer|Tactical Officer]], much to both their delight.

Soon after she arrived on board, Joran took the next step in their relationship, and proposed marriage to her, which she accepted. Soon afterwards, they moved into the same quarters, ready to live the rest of their lives together. Their wedding is set for March 2407.
