Our Wedding

We first met at Corona Del Mar in July 2021, during a beach workout we were both coaching. The sun was out, the waves were crashing, and neither of us expected that day to be the beginning of something so meaningful.After that beach day, we kept in touch—and we’ve talked every single day since.

How we met

Steven asked Monica to be his girlfriend on July 13, 2022 at Disneyland during the firework show

Who made it official 

In April 2025, during a hike at Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, Steven proposed to Monica. It was peaceful, beautiful, and perfect.
