We met in August 2023 on a dating app while Stephen was stationed in Germany. He flew home to Virginia Beach to meet me and take me on our first date. While we dated long distance, we made it a point to have frequent FaceTime dates and Stephen would send me coffee daily. When he returned back to the United States for good, we made things official. Fast forward and we got engaged at our favorite restaurant, Steinhilbers, on June 16, 2024!
