How We Met

In 2017, our paths crossed for the first time. Amidst the crowd, Hilary first fell for Kevin (aka Stoik) when seeing him play at a show in downtown San Diego. Fate, with a little nudge from mutual friends who saw the spark, set the stage for our story.

Life Together

Once our friends set us up, we became immediately inseparable. Our love blossomed by the sunny shores of San Diego, where we made a cozy home with our friends by the beach, along with our beloved cat, Kleokatra—affectionately known as Binky. Our family soon grew with the addition of Willie, our playful French Bulldog, who quickly became our furry little baby.

The winds of change ushered us to the lush landscapes of the Seattle area, where our bond deepened amidst the emerald embrace of the Pacific Northwest. It was here, in 2023, that we planted roots in a place we could truly call our own, purchasing our first home together in Kirkland, WA. This cozy haven, nestled near the shores of Lake Washington, became the backdrop to our growing love.

The Proposal

In 2023, amidst the breathtaking sunset on a hike along Oahu's east side (Lanikai Pillbox), Kevin asked Hilary to embark on the greatest adventure yet. Hilary, without hesitation, said, "YES!".

Our Dream Wedding

Our love story leads us to the next chapter in the enchanting mountain town of Leavenworth. Nestled in the Cascade Mountains, Leavenworth holds a special place in our hearts, with its Bavarian charm and spectacular mountain views that never cease to take our breath away.

As we prepare to celebrate our union in this picturesque setting, we invite you, our cherished friends and family, to join us. Not just to witness the joining of our lives, but to experience the place that captures the essence of our love—the wild, untamed beauty of the Pacific Northwest that continues to inspire our journey together.

We can't wait to share this magical day with you, to laugh, to dance, and to step into the future as partners, adventurers, and best friends. Here's to the next chapter in our love story, and the many more yet to be written.
