Isabel and Andrew met in 2015 through a bit of fate and good timing. Isabel was working at her neighbor Jen’s home daycare, where Andrew’s nephew, Wyatt, was enrolled. After Jen saw a photo of Andrew posted by his sister Laura on Facebook and thought he’d be Isabel’s type, They connected the two. Isabel and Andrew spent a few weeks getting to know each other through texts and online conversations before meeting in person—and their second date turned out to be Isabel’s prom, making the beginning of their story even more memorable.

Andrew proposed by recreating one of their most special dates from their first year together: a picnic at the Korean Friendship Bell overlooking the ocean, sharing a Busy Bee sandwich. With the help of Isabel’s cousin Ariana, the picnic was set up and the moment quietly documented. When the wind picked up, they relocated to Point Fermin, where Andrew got down on one knee and asked Isabel to marry him—turning a cherished memory into the start of their forever.
