Stephanie and Robert met in May 2017 in San Marcos, TX while attending a short term assignment training for Amazon.com. Robert worked for Amazon in Scranton, PA and Stephanie worked for Amazon in Chicago, IL. Both were taking on new roles within the company in an effort to move to Houston, TX and reunite with their immediate families. Little did they know, the first day of work at the new facility would lead to the joining of those two families and the creation of their own. Robert and Stephanie were the first two people to show up to work that day and were locked outside because their employee badges wouldn't work. They started chatting and quickly became good friends never realizing that just a few years later, the long talks at work, the Friday night drinks and the weekend wine tastings would eventually mean that Stephanie was #DestinedforDelfgaauw
In March 2020, Robert and Stephanie took a 10 day vacation to Napa Valley, CA. It was a dream vacation for the two wine lovers and they had a packed itinerary! The day after they arrived they took a winery tour of the beautiful Castello di Amorosa Winery, a 13th century-style Italian castle built into the Napa mountainside. While on the tour they "just happened to win" a drawing to tour the castle's tallest tower where they would be able to see some of the most beautiful views of the valley. Once the couple was up there they were served chilled champagne, flowers, chocolates and Robert nervously dropped to one knee and proposed as the song "Chances" by the Backstreet Boys played in the background against the backdrop of the picturesque valley. Many happy tears were shed and it was a moment they will never forget!
