It all began in Honolulu back in 2016, when fate (and a dating app) brought Eric and Jazmine together. Their first date? Doraku, a lively sushi spot known for its vibrant atmosphere and incredible bites. What started as a quick dinner turned into a three-hour conversation filled with laughter, connection, and undeniable chemistry. By the end of the night, it was clear: something special had begun. Their relationship blossomed as they discovered their shared love for traveling the world, art and all things outdoors—beach days, hiking, and exploring the Hawaiian islands became their thing. After 4 years on Oahu together, a short trip to Maui for Eric’s birthday in 2019 planted a seed. Enchanted by the island’s beauty, they decided to make the leap. Little did they know, the world was about to turn upside down. Despite the 2020 pandemic shutting everything down, they stuck to their plans, moving into a cozy one-bedroom studio in Kihei, Maui. It wasn’t always easy, but those close quarters helped them grow stronger as a couple. They built a beautiful life on Maui—meeting new friends, going on adventures, and even rescuing Maia, a tiny abandoned kitten who became part of their ohana. Fast forward to 2024, and their love story reached new heights in the romantic city of Paris. On their last day traveling, Eric popped the question—and Jazmine was completely surprised! She was shocked, overjoyed, and feeling all the feels as she said yes to forever with her best friend. Now, after nearly a decade of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments, they can’t wait to celebrate their next big chapter with all of you on their home island of Maui.
