Jon and Vanessa first met at UCLA working on the CDU unit. Jon later admitted he looked up Vanessa on Facebook and soon messaged her asking for their first meet up at Yogurtland. The rest is history.

Jon secretly asked Vanessa's bestfriend, Jarette to take her out on a belated "Valentines BFF Date." Vanessa having no clue went out to dinner in Woodland hills all dressed up per Jarette's request. While at home, Jon enlisted Jarette's fiance, Paul, to help him decorate the house with floor to ceiling lights, rose petals, candles, music, and he even dressed up the dogs in a tux and a gown. Bended on one knee, Jon asked for Vanessa's hand in marriage to the music of Sam Smith and with the picture of Vanessa's parents over the fireplace watching over them.
