We met on Tinder (dating app) back in June of 2016. We both had extremely busy schedules and eventually Maria asked “are you going to ask me out on a date?”. So therefore we officially met October 6th in Manhattan Beach where we walked the pier and ate cupcakes. Our relationship became official October 31.

Sean initially wanted to take a lovely trip to Zion National Park back in March of 2020, but unfortunately, COVID-19 decided that couldn’t happen. The trip was postponed, but Sean didn’t want to wait, so on May 7th, he decided to take a drive up to Palos Verdes overlooking the ocean and popped the question. Love didn’t need the perfect place, what it needed was the perfect moment and that’s exactly what it was.
