In 2013 Steph and Cole were set up as dates for Steph's sorority event themed "90's TV Shows." Steph knew nothing about Cole, only that he was "that one really loud guy," and let him know that he had no choice but to be the Cory to her Topanga from Boy Meets World. They hit it off immediately and started dating soon after. After graduating from the University of Washington in 2016 they moved to San Francisco, Steph's hometown, where Cole tolerated Bay Area sports fans for five long years. Cole worked in finance while Steph worked at a mental health treatment facility for youth. After moving in together, they got a French Bulldog, Beans, who is as wild as he is cute (and he's really cute). Cole proposed to Steph on February 12, 2021 on a surprise boat excursion in one of their favorite places - Cabo. They moved up to Seattle this past September (shoutout to Steph's parents for driving the U-Haul!) where they plan to stay. We can't wait to celebrate with everyone!
