It's happening, no take-backs!

Our mutual love for sushi meant our first date in May 2018 simply had to happen at Yanagi Sushi—where else? Even though we clicked right away, life decided we needed an intermission. Fast forward to April 2019, we found our way back to each other, and we’ve been rolling together ever since.

Cheyna’s always been the queen of planning—whether it’s picking dinner spots or organizing epic date nights, she’s got it covered. So, when she told Jen she’d made anniversary dinner reservations at Haleiwa Joe’s, Jen didn’t blink an eye (though, honestly, she did briefly wonder why sushi wasn’t on the menu—was Cheyna feeling okay?). What Jen didn’t realize was that the real dinner would be at 53 By The Sea, and Cheyna had been quietly plotting a beachside proposal for six months like a rom-com mastermind. Now, Jen has just one non-negotiable engagement rule: the nails must be flawless. Enter Celina, Jen’s BFF and undercover accomplice, who devised a top-secret plan to get Jen’s nails done the morning of the proposal—mission accomplished. As 6pm crept closer, Cheyna’s nerves were working overtime (it had been raining all week, and nobody wants a soggy proposal). By 5pm, it was go-time—they hopped in the car for the hour-long drive, and as they pulled up to a suspiciously private road with zero restaurant vibes, Jen’s “wait a minute” radar finally kicked in. On the beach, surrounded by other people taking Instagram-worthy photoshoots, Jen spotted a massive white rose arch reading “Will you marry me?”—but, thinking it was a group event, she just admired the view. Then, Cheyna took her hand, led her down the rose-strewn path, and everything clicked. There were tears, a heartfelt speech, some knee-bending action—and, of course, when Cheyna popped the question, Jen’s answer was the easiest yes ever.
