David met Stephanie on Halloween 2013. After a twist of fate, they ended up at the same place, same time. Their first date after meeting was at Smokeeaters downtown San Jose. Stephanie ordered a salad and David avoided the wings out of fear of being messy. Stephanie recalls David having the biggest smile on his face the entire time. Months later on January 4, 2014 (1414), David made it offical and asked Stephanie to be his girlfriend. David would make an effort daily to see Stephanie during both of their free time. They saw each other EVERY day even if for just 30 minutes. After 2.5 years, they moved in to their first apartment together. During their time together Stephanie and David traveled to many places: Vegas, Disneyland, Colorado, and their personal favorite, Mexico! For Stephanie’s 25th birthday, they took a trip to Mexico and they enjoyed the trip so much that they both wished they could bring their family and friends. One year later on Christmas Eve, David proposed to Stephanie during the Martinez’ Secret Santa Reveal. Weeks later they began to make Wedding plans and had a brilliant plan: Destination Wedding in Mexico!
