Steven and Katrina met online. They began joking back and forth. Katrina bet him that the Cardinals would win a football game. Surprisingly, Katrina won that bet. Steven thoughtfully researched places that offered vegan food and wine since Katrina had mentioned she loves wine. He stole her heart on that first date by bringing chips and guacamole instead of flowers. A few weeks later, he sweetly asked her to be his girlfriend with a box of vegan snacks and treats. She, of course, said, “Yes!” It was then their love story began, and led to the birthing of a Food Exploration Spreadsheet.

Steven proposed during an Andrew McMahon concert, one of their favorite bands. He had spent months custom designing a dazzling engagement ring for the occasion. Steven timed out the perfect moment, invited some friends, and waited for their song “Fire Escape” to be played. Then, he got down on one knee and made his heartfelt proposal. Katrina was so shocked, it took her a moment to respond, but then she blurted out, “Yes!” of course. Now, they’re looking forward to a lifetime of wedded #bliss together.
