We're getting married!

It was March of 2017 when Etelih and Steven crossed paths on a dating app. Little did they know that a simple swipe would lead to the beginning of their beautiful love story. From sunup to sundown, they chatted endlessly, bonding over their shared love for the gym and an even greater passion for ice cream. Their first date at a bowling alley was filled with laughter, where Etelih playfully claimed victory (though Steven might tell a different tale!). It didn’t take long for their chemistry to blossom into a beautiful relationship. During a trip to Playa del Carmen, as the sunset in a stunning display of colors, Steven asked Etelih to be his girlfriend. They navigated life together, facing career changes, travel adventures, a global pandemic, and the joys and challenges of raising Etelih’s daughter, Aliah. Through every challenge, their love only grew stronger. On June 19, 2024, to celebrate their seven-year anniversary, they adventured to Sedona. They woke up early to watch the sunrise at Secret Slick Rock, surrounded by breathtaking red landscapes. As the sun kissed the rocks, the moment had finally come for Steven’s grand gesture. He got down on one knee and asked Etelih to be his wife. Mark your calendars for June 19, 2025, when Etelih and Steven will say “I do” and begin the next chapter of their love story side by side.
