In 2018, Evan moved from Remington, Virginia to Tampa, Florida where he then met Teagan in December 2019 through mutual friends.

Their friendship blossomed into a loving relationship when Evan officially asked Teagan to be his girlfriend in June 2020, during the pandemic.

In August 2020, they moved into an apartment in Riverview with their cat named Kite whom they adopted together.

Over the years, they've shared countless unforgettable moments-from music festivals and anime conventions to traveling the world, career milestones, laughter and smiles. They've embraced new friendships, discovered unique cuisines, and created lasting memories with loved ones, all while growing closer together.

In February 2024 they had the opportunity to travel to Japan for the first time, through Teagan's benefits as a flight attendant.

They both fell in love with Japan, and it quickly became a cherished destination for them. They even made plans to explore more parts of the country by visiting every year after. Many anticipated Evan to propose during this trip, yet the moment was not right.

Their next trip was planned for January 2025 where they would spend three and a half weeks exploring new cities, and traveling further south to the Japanese islands. On February 13th, they intended to visit a specific city near Fukuoka, but after missing the last train, they had to adjust their plans. They ended up at the Sakurai Futamiguara Torii Shrine, a destination Evan had secretly chosen for his proposal. Coincidentally, they had planned to visit the shrine on Valentine's Day, which was the following day.

Evan asked Teagan to step up onto the rocks of the shrine so he could take a photo of her with his film camera. When she turned around, that's when he proposed.
