How We Met

"Friends first? Hmmm. That's interesting." -Joey Tribbiani

Met freshman year. Became friends. Good friends. Really good friends! He liked her. She liked him. He liked her again. She liked him again. Some time passed... and passed... Finally two years later, he liked her at the same time she liked him!

The Proposal

After ten months of meticulous planning, Noah took Helen on a surprise trip to Hawaii to ring in 2020. He whisked Helen off to their 5:30am flight, telling her to pack for warm weather. Helen's face glowed with excitement as her ticket read final destination: Maui. On Maui, Noah had four days of adventures lined up, from hiking a volcano to whale watching...and even playing with cats. Time flew and unforgettable memories were created, but the dream trip wasn't over yet. The couple soon arrived at Disney's Aulani resort. They laughed and smiled, as their trip neared its end. On their last morning in paradise, Helen and Noah indulged in a couples massage. Noah had a few more treatments secretly planned for Helen and afterwards, he picked her up from the spa to walk down the beach at sunset. Noah was giddy with excitement and nerves as they approached "Secret Beach," ending the surprise trip on the highest of notes. Secret Beach was, in fact, a secret: Helen and Noah were the only two souls in sight (except for the planted photographer, pretending to take selfies along the shore). They made their way out onto the lava rock, staring out into the seemingly never ending ocean. Down on one knee he went, asking Helen to go on every adventure with him, travel the world, and continue creating incredible memories. After watching the sun dip below the horizon, they walked hand in hand to dinner, where the kindest wait staff was waiting to congratulate the newly engaged couple. Helen and Noah held eye contact, as they shared stories over their plant based dinner, and dreamed of the next adventure they would embark on together as one.
