(More fun stories coming soon :) )

Brian and Seyka met online on OKCupid. After a couple weeks of light and easy messages back and forth they agreed to meet for the first time.

Because they barely knew each other Seyka refused Brian's chivalrous offer to pick her up - she didn't want to be committed to spending much time with a stranger she met online. Spoiler alert- she ended up liking said stranger.

They met in person on December 12th 2015 in Palos Verdes (in the city that the wedding will be held) and went for a hike. Seyka remembers thinking "well this is a nice surprise" when she saw Brian for the first time. During their hike they talked about their careers, their plans for the future, their families, their lifestyles, and a lot about religion and their relationships with God.

After the hike they drove their separate ways. Seyka had a big smile on her face, although it would still take her a few dates to warm up. They had the chance to have a couple more dates before they left to their home towns for Christmas.

When they returned from holidays Brian took Seyka to The Spot, a well-loved vegetarian restaurant in Hermosa. That was the night that the walls came down a bit - Seyka felt her pupils turn into heart shapes and had a full dosage of butterflies flood her system when Brian was around.

Their next date was spending New Years Eve together. They had their first kiss on January 1st 2016 at midnight. Starting off 2016 as the year of Brian and Seyka.

They officially became a couple on January 21st 2016.

Brian proposed on November 11th 2016.

July 3rd 2017 they plan to say "I do" to the promise of a long life of love together.
