How they met

you had me at noodles

They had talked for about a month before they were able to get together and their first date was over a delicious bowl of Ippudo ramen. Stephen knew the way to Kelli’s heart! Both with a competitive side they headed to a game of ping pong and were serenaded by some awesome live jazz music. With the fate of a second date left to the chance of a snowfall the next day, nature took the reins and dusted the city with snow. They were inseparable after that... well mostly. After 4 months seperated by the Caspian Sea and another 5 across country Kelli listened to her heart and moved to NYC to be with Stephen. The rest is history!

The Proprosal

don’t go chasing waterfalls

We were in Las Vegas, Nevada visiting Tammy To and her family and headed to Red Rock Canyon to find a waterfall in the middle of the desert. We love an adventure and were searching back and forth for this waterfall that was no where in sight. Parched and a little overheated we finally decided to head back to the car and drive through the Red Rock Canyon loop. We made a few stops along the way to enjoy the beautiful scenery and silence until we found a secluded spot. After awkwardly taking a few pictures of some tourists and of ourselves Stephen pulled out a little box from his pocket and said he had a question he wanted to ask me. I blacked out after that moment but I'm sure I said "YES!!!" We are so excited to share this special moment with you surrounded by the sound of the beautiful ocean waves!
