Curt and Stephanie first crossed paths in early 2015, when Curt was serving in the Coast Guard and Stephanie was balancing nursing school with raising her son, Talon, who was just eight years old at the time. What began as a chance connection quickly grew into something lasting and full of love.

Right away, Curt's kindness and calm nature were undeniable. He has always gone above and beyond for the people he cares about, especially Stephanie, making it his mission to bring happiness to her life. Together, they’ve built a strong foundation filled with laughter, resilience, and unwavering support.

Their home is also filled with lots of puppy love—French bulldogs to be exact! Curt and Stephanie adore their own Frenchies and have opened their hearts (and couches!) to fostering others in need. It’s just another way they’ve built a life centered around care, compassion, and joy.

Their story also wouldn’t be complete without mentioning their shared love of the water. From boating adventures to lazy days by the ocean, time spent near the waves has become one of their favorite ways to recharge, connect, and make memories together.

Now, more than a decade later, they are ready to celebrate their journey and begin this next chapter as husband and wife—surrounded by the people (and pups!) they love most.
