Let’s take it all the way back to the very beginning: Westmoor High School in Daly City, CA (2005 - 2006). Who knew our journey would begin during our 3rd Period - English class of our Sophomore year with just one class assignment. One phone call over homework turned into a dance intermission to Chris Brown’s “Gimme That” during 106 & Park where I, Anastasia, officially met “Shan Brown” aka “The Filipino Chris Brown.” With any meaningful high school crush, we’ve both developed a spark that was indescribable but unfortunately, did not test the tales of time. Little did we both know, we would eventually re-kindle our relationship many years later. Fast forward to March 1, 2014 - Once was a “Girls Night Out” and “Fab 5” outing at Studio 8 Night Club in San Jose, CA turned into the rebirth of “Sean and Stasia” with help from a very special friend - Shout out to Rhob for that one LOL! Our re-kindled flame carried into the night and the fairytale began to grow. Many friendly hangouts turned into many date nights. Many date nights turned into yearly anniversary celebrations at Outside Lands Music Festival of every August (2014 - 2019) in San Francisco, CA. Our unconditional love continued to blossom with unforgettable memories for the next 9 years of our lives. On October 13, 2023, at Rikugien Gardens in the special wards of Tokyo, Japan, a surprise proposal with the words “Stasia, will you marry me?” turned into our forever moment. With Japan’s richness in beauty as well as its scenery, our love defined the next chapter of our lives. With the love and support of our beloved family and friends, we are beyond blessed, thankful, and grateful to share our story. Let’s toast to the soon to be Mr. and Mrs. Santos!
