Once upon a time, on a cold winter day, two people took a risk and met in a Safeway Starbucks having never seen the person they were meeting before. One of them, an excellent teacher of both schooling and dance. The other an introvert hoping to meet someone that could bring them out of their shell. Neither of them knew at the time, that this meeting would be the start of a relationship that would bring two amazing families and group of friends together.

The first meeting ended well with many dates to follow after. The two individuals took things slow as to be expected, the guy asking the girl to be his girlfriend after two weeks, the girl meeting the guy's grandpa the next day, and the guy meeting the girl's parents the day after that. Slowly but surely the rest of the families were introduced to the couple, some members flying in and others being flown to.

A little more than a year after the couple had started dating, the guy embarked on the perilous journey of finding the perfect ring and method to propose to the girl. Fortunately for him, there was a savior on his path in the form of a future brother-in-law's significant other and two supportive families behind him. Together they all hatched a plot to capture the girl's heart and unite the two together in an even stronger bond.

And so the couple found themselves at a professional soccer game with family and friends surrounding them. Both of them nervous, one trying to make sure that they spent quality time with everyone at the game and the other for a different reason entirely. As expected, the plan went flawlessly and the proposal was a success! Shortly after the game there was a celebration held for the newly engaged couple before off to a vacation in Hawaii they went.
