We first met back in 2010 while we were both attending UCSB though for the next 9 years we were merely acquaintances. Fast forward to 2019 when Tiff makes the move to San Francisco and starts hanging out with her group of friends from Santa Barbara. Luckily, Kevin had spent the last few years also hanging out with those same friends. Thanks to multiple group hang-outs where friends flaked and we were forced to hang out 1 on 1, we realized that we had a lot in common and really enjoyed spending time with each other. This led to more un-forced 1 on 1 dates. Jumping forward another 4 years on our first international trip together in Japan, Kevin planned a surprise stroll through the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden and popped the question in front one of the only early blossoming cherry blossoms in January.
