Christian and Rochelle’s love story began in 2014 at UC Santa Cruz, when Rochelle asked Christian at a party if he was the DJ. He wasn’t—but that moment sparked a connection that would change everything. They became a couple in 2015, bringing together a SoCal guy and a NorCal girl, and began a long-distance relationship that would last 10 years. During that time, they lived their lives across different cities and timezones—growing individually while always choosing each other and supporting one another through school, careers, and every new chapter. They’ve always shared a love for traveling together and eating good food, finding joy in both big adventures and low key moments. In 2025, after a meaningful proposal in Japan, they finally closed the distance and moved in together, ready to begin this next chapter side by side. Today, we celebrate a love that endured time, miles, and change—and only grew stronger because of it.
