As with every good first date, ours was at the movies. We still don't understand the question, "Why did Steph agree to see a movie that would give her nightmares?" This was Ernesto's plan to use that as an excuse to hug her during the movies, and Steph fell in love! The end. Okay, okay, maybe it wasn't exactly what happened, but "The Conjuring" turned out to be the beginning of many "firsts" for our relationship. We would be lying if we said, "Everything was perfect and went smoothly"; the reality is that the relationship blossomed due to hard work, love, and our dedication to each other. Ernesto and Stephany enjoyed spending time together and soon decided to move in, alongside her four-legged daughter, Tonka. It took Tonka almost nothing to give in to Ernesto, and soon, they became besties, making her fight for his attention. Stephany and Ernesto discovered the joy of traveling together early on and soon found themselves planning a 2-week Europe vacation (the first time for both). Anytime they would sit down and discuss travel plans and landmarks, Stephany would say “Nice place to propose”. This, of course, was after months of her whispering to his phone, hoping the engagement ring algorithm would fill his ads. People would often ask Stephany if she thought he’d "Pop the Big Question" on the trip, but they spent almost every minute together, and every time she mentioned the subject (proposal), he would just say "Nah". Little did she know that he had already planned the proposal at her dream location! Since he took what seemed like FOREVER to pop the question, she decided to make him wait until the following day for the "Yes" to the proposal.
