It all started in February 2021, when Shan came to LA for a quick visit. A mutual friend introduced us, and while it seemed casual at the time, something quietly clicked—even if we didn’t realize it right away✨

A few days later, Shan slid into Kantkaw’s DMs with a simple “hi” (just “hi” 😄). That one little message turned into hours of chatting, laughing, and getting to know each other. Before we knew it, we were talking every day.

In April, Shan came back to LA, and on Kantkaw’s birthday, we had our very first date—whale watching at Laguna Beach 🌊🐬It was a little windy, a little awkward, and a lot of fun. We still laugh about it to this day.

After that, we spent a few months doing long distance—visiting each other as often as we could and always counting down to the next trip 🧳✈️

Our first trip together was to San Diego, but the one that really stayed with us was Alaska ❄️ That trip made us feel like we could take on anything, as long as we were together.

Eventually, Shan made the move to LA, and life just felt right. Cozy, chaotic, loving, real—and completely ours 🏡❤️

The Proposal

Shan proposed in the sweetest, most us kind of way, just a quiet moment filled with love 💍 . . .

With a smile (and a few happy tears 🥹), Shan said:

“Life is a beautiful journey, and I want to continue that journey with you by my side. I want to be the one who makes your dreams come true. Will you marry me?”

Kantkaw said yes—very quickly! 💕

And now, here we are—getting married and so excited to celebrate this next chapter with all of you 🥂🎉
