Drew and Kristina had their first date on January 7th, 2024, at the LA Arboretum. What they thought would be a quick meet-up turned into 11 unforgettable hours—the conversation flowed so naturally that neither of them wanted the day to end. From that moment on, they were inseparable. Early in their relationship, they began to notice little synchronicities that made them smile—like the fact that they have the same Myers-Briggs personality types (INFJ) and even share the same exact phone password! They made countless trips between Orange and Pasadena just to be together, bonding over deep conversations, music, movies, art, and endless adventures—from early morning road trips to Big Sur along the California coast, racing to beat the sunset with their dog Kali at the Rose Bowl, to spontaneous late-night dessert runs. On January 18th, while driving to play billiards in North Hollywood, Drew worked up the courage to ask Kristina to be his girlfriend. Nine months later, on October 18th in Idyllwild, he asked another big question—one that would change the course of their lives forever. A week later, they moved into their first home together in Orange. These days, they still take long walks and spend hours talking, only now with their sweet Kali girl trotting beside them. Behind the romantic gestures, exciting date nights, and memorable adventures is a relationship built on true friendship. Drew and Kristina are best friends, soulmates, and thrilled to begin this next chapter surrounded by their wonderful friends and family. Little did they know that a simple walk through the arboretum would one day lead them to walk down the aisle.
