Let’s bring it back to 2010 while we were in high school. We met through a mutual friend. Quentin asked our mutual friend which picture I liked better, because he planned on wearing the shirt in whichever picture I picked the next day at school. We met the next day at school, the conversation was no more than 5 minutes, before he had to run away - little did I know the real reason. He told me that the truth was at the age of 16 years old, he couldn’t believe he was talking to a girl that beautiful. Little did we know this was the beginning of the rest of our lives together. Shortly after, we began dating on October 26th, 2011. Through the years we have watched our relationship grow. Our connection grew closer and we became inseparable. All the highs and lows we encountered only deepen our connection and the bond we have for one other. In 2017, we took the next step and moved in together. This was one of the happiest days of our lives. We were building forever. In 2019, our fur baby was born. We welcomed Luna into our life. Our little family grew right in front of our eyes. Luna has become such an important part of our lives. She came at a time that really helped show us what love really was. She’s definitely mommy’s girl. Now let’s talk about the proposal on March 11, 2023 What an AMAZING day that was. I’ll start out by saying, when the day started, I had no idea how it would end. We went to go get forever bracelets done at a little shop in South Jersey. We picked each other’s gem, which so happened to be each other’s favorite color and got matching chains. We headed back home to get all dressed up for dinner at Steakhouse 85. The dinner and the conversation were unmatched. On the way back home, Quentin told me he had a surprise when we got back home, be he needed me to wait in the car. He came out to get me, covered my eyes and walked me inside. When I opened my eyes, 11 teddybear were on our table with 3 dozen lavender roses. There was a box and a card on the table. As I opened the box, there was a “save the date” and a wedding invitation for “Stephanie and Quentin’s” wedding. When I turned around, there Quentin was on one knee, with the most perfect ring. Immediate happiness and love showered us. From high school sweethearts to life partners, we continue to grow together and embark on this journey together.
