In the beginning, we were Biology lab partners, but quickly became friends, hanging out long after the study sessions were done. One afternoon during our freshman year, Stephen invited me to go longboarding with him and we skated around the neighborhoods, talking until sunset. Our love story has been a slow, comforting flame extending over the years since February of 2011. Eight years later, Stephen proposed on one of our favorite beaches in Malibu at sunset. We are so excited to celebrate our love story and the start of our marriage with all of you who have supported us along the way!
