We met back in 2020 during COVID, introduced by mutual friends at one of our favorite places—China Walls. From the very beginning, we bonded over our love for the beach (as long as there’s no sand!) and quickly became the best of friends. Since then, we’ve been inseparable. In November 2022, we took a leap of faith and chose to turn our friendship into something more—and it’s been the best decision we’ve ever made. Our first date was perfectly us: sharing an acai bowl from Kokonuts and watching the sunset at China Walls.
What Jaeda thought were simply pictures for a Christmas card turned into the most unforgettable moment of our lives – a surprise engagement proposal, surrounded by the love and warmth of all our closest family and friends. She had no idea that everyone had been planning this special surprise! From taking christmas card photos and Aunty Jen having a "camera lense malfunction", to going on the barge and pointing out the "turtle in the lake", everything seemed perfectly ordinary… until she turned around too soon and saw all of our closest loved ones walking toward us. It was the perfect surprise, creating a memory we will cherish forever.
