Rewind to the beginning of 2017, after graduating college, Paige moved to Los Angeles with a dream of starting a new life in sunny California. The move not only jump started her adult life out on her own, but also started the rest of her forever. She and Spiros met just days after Paige arrived in California; needless to say, it was kismet from the start. Their first date could've been seen from outer space the sparks were flying so high! It was an immediate connection, with an evening filled with giddy laughter and intimate conversations, ultimately leading into a strong seven year relationship. Whether you're a believer in fate or not, it seemed as though the universe had a plan for them. Fast forward to now, a lot has happened since the beginning; from late night partying in their early twenties, to traveling the world together, growing their careers, parenting a puppy, Spiros conquering grad school, and now to being engaged and preparing for married life together. Life happens quickly, don't for a second let it pass you by!
Spiros wins best human award for this story! It was Paige's birthday the first weekend of December, and Spiros took her for a beautiful lunch in Malibu, to a restaurant that overlooks the Pacific ocean and serves the best California wine. After the meal, they walked down to the private beach, where they sat in the sand and looked out to the glistening waters and the bright blue skies. He then anxiously handed Paige a birthday gift, which after unwrapping, had a small white box inside a larger box. It was at that moment she understood what was happening. Spiros removed the small box from the other, shuffled onto one knee and opened it, displaying the most beautiful ring! With a few sweet sentiments he asked her to marry him. Completely overwhelmed, Paige couldn't even get out the words at first and immediately hugged and kissed him, eventually gasping "Yes!" The surprises continued after that. Overjoyed in the moment, Paige wanted to call her family to explain the news. Somehow he managed to convince her to go home before calling anyone. Filled with so much love, they drove back to see his mom who was anxiously waiting at their place. Upon arrival, Paige opened the door only to find her family and their closest friends screaming "Congratulations!" Immediately bursting into tears and falling to the floor, Spiros had officially made this the best day of her life! The rest of the evening was filled with champagne, hugs and laughter.
