Well, where do we start? We met over 10 years ago in our early college days. We were coworkers at Calvin Klein and quickly became friends. Vanessa had a boyfriend at the time and Stephen had significant others. Eventually, the stars aligned. Stephen received encouragement from some of our co-workers, and asked Vanessa out on a date. No surprise, that first date was a Lakers game! Our bond has been growing stronger ever since. Stephen is an air sign and Vanessa is a fire sign, so somehow the universe says we work! Traveling, music, sports, partying, hanging at the beach, water sports, and eating out has brought us together over the years. We love to have a good time with our friends, family, and our newest addition, Lola, our sassy chihuahua. We love to spend time in our home and enjoy hosting fight nights and boating around the Channel Islands Harbor. Our initial friendship helped create the solid love we have now. We can truly say we are each other's best friend and soulmate. As many of you know, we have never wanted to have a traditional wedding and are opting for an intimate ceremony with our immediate families. We thank our family and friends for respecting our decision to hold a private ceremony.
