The Adventure Begins | SEP. 2016
Long story short, we have Hatch green chiles, our friendship/family ties with Ian and Raechl Kynor, an immediate sense of connection, and a bit of desert magic to thank for bringing us together five years ago. 🌶️ It sounds cheesy, but 'enchanted with each other' is a phrase we keep coming back to, when trying to describe that intangible sense of knowing you've met YOUR person. After first meeting as simply friends the year prior, it was the moment we peeled chiles together over a kitchen sink when fireworks went off, and have yet to stop. ✨ There are many other details we could share, but those are best shared in person, over cocktails, so let's just say this: we're beyond grateful for every choice, and every moment, that brought us to this next step in our adventure of life and love. 💞
Flipping the Script | NOV. 2019
Fast forward a few years of memories later, and Tiffany was on a long flight home when the whole idea of flipping the script came to mind. You see, Steven's giving nature is just one of the reasons Tiffany fell head over heels for him -- so, when it came to proposing a lifetime of shenanigans together, Tiffany wanted to be the one to do so, in a way that reiterated a commitment to the deep, crazy, love they'd found in each other. But, Steven is THE hardest person to surprise. He sees things coming from a mile away, much to Tiffany's chagrin. This would require the utmost sneakiness. So, after hatching a plan with help from family, Tiffany ordered an engagement ring, wrangled the fur babies, Binx and Sierra, into a photoshoot, and devised a surprise even Steven wouldn't see coming. 🤫
#HeSaidYes | DEC. 26 2019
This brings us to the day after Christmas, when the Kynors came to visit Tiffany's family's house in Northern California. After Steven was begrudgingly convinced to go on a walk outside by his cousin, Cavan, Tiffany found a moment to surprise Steven with a "belated gift" -- which was a book she had made, featuring a Top 10 list of moments shared together. When Steven turned to #10, he saw the photo of Tiffany, Binx, Sierra, and the engagement ring - which Tiffany then pulled out in real life. After realizing what was happening, and giving a resounding yes, he followed up with, "did you ask my mom first? (yes, she did 😂)" and "is everyone watching us right now? (yes, they were 😂)" So, while it may be the only time Tiffany ever surprises Steven, it will certainly go down as the best ever.
The Adventure Continues | NOV. 6, 2021
And now, here we are, planning our celebration with all of you! 🎉 As we talked about what our wedding would look like, the part that kept coming up was that while the promises we make will be to each other, it mattered to both us to make them in front of those we treasure the most. Our family and friends are the foundation to both of our lives, and we couldn't imagine taking this next step without all of you there to mark the occasion with us. So, that's where this chapter ends. No epilogue, no cliffhanger, just a hope that we will see your beautiful faces come November 6, 2021, where many more memories are sure to be made! 🍾
