What was expected to be a typical happy hour between coworkers in March of 2019, soon led to an unexpected connection between their close friends. After an unassuming introduction, their paths would cross several times again over cocktails and dancing, leading to a surprising relationship. Over the years, they would share their love of exploring local eateries and traveling the world, all the while creating lasting memories. The rest was history. The Engagement After 4 years of dating, a planned trip to southern California presented a fitting opportunity for Chris to plan a proposal. The ring had been secured, all he needed was to create the moment. But how? Secret discussions and texts with local friends would identify a small, romantic location along the edge of Laguna Beach. On the night of July 2nd 2023, despite heavy pushback, Chris convinced Anthea to overly priced sushi followed by sunset on the beach. Suddenly after dinner, the clouds began to quickly set in and time was running out. Finally situated at the beach with overcast skies, a small group of dolphins revealed themselves, dancing in the water. Surely this was a sign and the moment was set. As Anthea began filming, Chris quickly positioned himself behind her, ring in hand. And with a gentle tap on her shoulder, she slowly turned around. She said yes.
