Our Love Story
Himeno and Brice love story began with a swipe on the dating app, Tinder. Brice matched with Himeno and with a simple "want to go to the aquarium or zoo?" their love story began. Brice and Himeno later saw how much they had in common with their love of dogs, anime, video games, and cooking!
After multiple dates, they were official on February 17th, 2018. Himeno and Brice dated for 2 years before Brice had gone back to the East Coast after serving in the Marine Corps, which started their 2 year long distance relationship.
After Himeno graduated from college, she packed up her life in California and moved in with Brice to Pittsburgh where they have lived together for more than 2 years.
After years of love, laughter and adventurous memories, Brice proposed to Himeno on March 23rd, 2024 at the Japanese Garden at the Phipps Conservatory. They are excited to start their next chapter as Husband and Wife!
