The two of us met as next door neighbors during our sophomore year at UW. We quickly bonded while riding the bus to campus together most mornings - we would even ride the early bus so we could spend more time together on campus. After a few months, Steven asked Michelle out for a very romantic first date: a G-Eazy concert. On January 30th, 2016, we went skiing together at Steven's Pass. While sitting on the slope, Steven asked Michelle to be his girlfriend. And the rest is history!
Steven planned a beautiful proposal on November 23, 2024 at Magnolia Park, followed by a surprise engagement party at Old Log Distillery with friends and family! We finished the evening with dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Mama Melina.
Below are photos from the engagement, and some of the many amazing adventures we've shared together throughout our 10+ years! We're looking forward to a lifetime of new memories together, and we cannot wait to celebrate our wedding with everyone!
