Like many modern romances, our story began with a simple swipe—but it was so much more than that. From the very start, we both knew we were looking for something real, something lasting. Neither of us was interested in games or fleeting connections—we wanted love. Our first date brought us to Berkeley, California, where we quickly realized we had something special. Stephanie talked—a lot—but James didn’t mind one bit. In fact, he loved it. Conversation flowed effortlessly, and with every word, we grew more and more certain that this was just the beginning of something beautiful. Fast forward to April 2024, on a dreamy trip to Hawai‘i, James planned a moment Stephanie would never forget. In front of the breathtaking Moli‘i Pond, with the sun setting and the ocean breeze in the air, he got down on one knee and asked the question. Without hesitation, Stephanie said “YES!” Now, we can’t wait to say “I do” and start this next chapter together—with all of you by our side!
