Their story began in the warm, coastal charm of Newport Beach, where Stas and Felecia worked together at a lively restaurant called Sol Cocina. Amidst the buzz of clinking glasses and the rhythm of busy nights, something sweeter was brewing—starting with shared coffees, indulgent brownies, and a gentle push from their head chef. By 2019, friendship had blossomed into something undeniable. As their connection deepened, so did their journey. In 2023, they took a leap and moved in together, quickly turning a house into a loving home filled with laughter, two playful dogs, and three mischievous cats. Then, in July of 2024, came the moment that would forever change their story. At their favorite hiking trail in Forest Falls, surrounded by nature’s quiet beauty and the soothing rush of a waterfall, Stas got down on one knee. With their two dogs watching and the mountains as witness, Felecia said yes to forever. Overwhelmed with joy, they celebrated the magic of that moment—and soon after, shared the happiest news with their families, beginning the next chapter of their adventure together.
