Jon and Lizzy met in 2013. Both chose to attend Hawaii Pacific University. Young and excited to be out of the house, they were ready for the adventure in Hawaii. Little did they know what was just around the corner. Jon and Lizzy happened to be living in the same dorm building. They bumped into each other in the dorm common room area, and they instantly hit it off before school even started. Jon officially asked Lizzy out on the soccer field on 09/19/2013. The rest is history.
Fast forward to nearly six years later, Jon and Lizzy booked their first vacation together to none other than Hawaii. Excited to visit the beautiful state where they first met, they boarded a plane to Maui in July 2019. Both were looking forward to a much needed vacation. Jon and Lizzy basked on the sandy beaches, dined on delicious Hawaiian cuisine, and explored Maui together. The fourth day of their vacation, they drove up the winding road to visit Ali’i Kula Lavender Farms. At the farm they had a picnic lunch and took in gorgeous views of the island. They strolled through the lavender gardens, which was peppered with native Hawaiian flowers and fun little garden nooks. After walking the entire farm, Jon led Lizzy back to the "Secret Garden." Lizzy was taking a picture of the view and lush garden that surrounded them and turned around to find Jon down on one knee. Crying tears of joy, Lizzy gladly accepted Jon's proposal. The two took in the private, intimate moment, and then quickly shared the news with loved ones. Jon and Lizzy enjoyed the rest of their 10 day vacation as an engaged couple.
