Like many modern love stories, theirs started with a swipe. After a few conversations, Sabrina and John decided to meet for lunch at Tandoori Bites. What began as a simple first date quickly turned into an afternoon of shopping, where Sabrina helped John pick out an outfit for a friend's wedding. Before the day was over, John invited her to be his date. Somewhere between the wedding, the dancing, and spending time together, they realized they had found something worth holding on to. The rest is history.

John isn't exactly the best at keeping surprises. While waiting for family portraits, he had Sabrina pick out the ring she liked at JCPenney, so she knew a proposal was coming—she just wasn't sure when. On Christmas Eve 2025, the family visited the Chinese Lantern Festival to admire the lights. What Sabrina didn't know was that Aubree had been let in on the secret and was ready with her camera. When John finally got down on one knee, his voice changed completely as he nervously asked, "You wanna marry me?" Aubree captured the moment the best she could, although most of the photos turned out blurry from the excitement. Of course, Sabrina said yes, and the rest of the evening became a memory they'll never forget.
