Little did they know that their chance encounter would pave the way for a remarkable love story. Despite their origins on opposite ends of the country, their shared decision to embark on careers at the Boeing Company in Oklahoma City solidified their bond. Weekends filled with laughter, culinary adventures, and vibrant parties transformed their friendship into a deep and unbreakable connection. Felicia's spirited presence on the sidelines of Sean's rugby matches showcased her unwavering support. Sean swept Felicia away with romantic dates like strolling hand in hand through the captivating wonders of the OKC botanical gardens and zoo. On the memorable date of December 5, 2018, their journey reached a pivotal moment, as Sean asked Felicia to be his girlfriend. Over the years, their adventurous spirits led them to traverse countries such as Japan, Scotland, Mexico, and Jamaica, and explore numerous states across the United States. They have continued to motivate each other and celebrate growth through each of their graduate degree programs and achievements. Sean proposed to Felicia on June 9th, 2023.
