Meant to Be

Our story began at seventeen, old enough to think we had life figured out, yet young enough to have absolutely no clue. Between school dances, lacrosse games, ice skating dates, stargazing, and countless late-night drives that turned into even longer FaceTime calls, something real began to grow. As time went on, through college, long distance, and every adventure along the way, that something became everything. Seven years later, our love has been shaped by every laugh, every milestone, and every gentle, unforgettable moment in between. We are so grateful to keep writing this story together, hand in hand, with all the laughter and love life brings.

The Proposal

What seemed like just another typical work day quickly turned into the start of forever when Stephen asked Mariana the most important question of their lives. Stephen disguised the proposal as a work anniversary party, and Mariana had no idea she was walking into one of the happiest moments of their lives. Little did she know, Stephen had been carefully planning the perfect proposal since November 2024. From asking her parents for their blessing to designing a ring that tells their story, every detail was planned with love (and a dash of sneaky brilliance). What followed was a moment full of joyful surprises, heartfelt smiles, and all the feels. We are beyond excited to begin the next chapter of our story and ready to walk through life together forever. Surrounded by the ones we love, we can’t wait to celebrate the day our forever begins!
