Daryoosh and Stephanie met in fall 2010 at Oregon State University. Two years later, Daryoosh discovered Stephanie hadn’t seen any of the Harry Potter movies, and made it his mission to remedy this. After weeks of watching movies together, and talking for hours afterwards, they went on their first official date to Avery Park. From then on, their relationship grew and developed through new experiences together and apart. They worked through three years of long distance. Even though they were apart they both knew it was worth it!

Stephanie grew up camping almost every year, so their first summer together they decided to go camping. It was the perfect camping trip in the most peaceful setting. Daryoosh wanted to replicate that during the proposal. They picked out their secluded spot in near a series of waterfalls. After setting up camp they went for a hike into a huge cascading falls. Stephanie went to look off the viewpoint, and when she turned around, he was standing there holding the ring.
