We were classmates in our freshman year, Ancient Civilization class . Through a mutual friend, our first encounter was at our high school Football Stadium. Overtime, our connection blossomed into something special. After a few blinks, 10 years had gone by.
A nervous wreck, Eric sent Stephanie on a treasure hunt that consisted of 5 places that are special to them. Stephanie's first stop was at Rick's Burgers in Uptown, Whittier where they enjoyed their first order of chili cheese fries in 2010. The second stop was at Staples office supply in the Quad. Eric and Stephanie enjoy attending LA Kings Hockey games at Staples Center but the drive would have been too far so Staples office supply would have to suffice. Third stop, was to visit Stephanie's beloved Great-grandfather in Pico Rivera, CA. Stephanie's "Tata" received her with open arms and gifted her with the fourth clue. The 4th stop in this treasure hunt was at California High Schools Football field where they first exchanged phone numbers. At Cal High, Stephanie was given her next clue to meet our loved ones at St. Mary's of the Assumption Church to receive a blessing. Lastly, the final clue led Stephanie to meet Eric at a local park which had been decorated with pictures and flower pedals. The rest was history.
