August 25, 2023, their 8 month anniversary...

Since it was their anniversary, and they like to celebrate each month, Stephen & Stephanie had dinner reservation scheduled for that night.. or so Stephanie thought.

After rushing home from the gym to get ready for the dinner reservation, Stephanie found out that the plans have been changed, Stephen told her that instead of going out, we would be staying at home for the evening. Stephanie noticed that there were flowers and candles all over the house and there was a private chef already cooking in the kitchen. Once ready, Stephen took Stephanie out into the backyard to show her the firepit that he had set up for the first time. Stephanie noticed a man hiding within the trees holding a camera, it was in this moment that Stephanie knew it was about to happen. Stephen got down on his knee and told her how much he loved her and asked if Stephanie would marry him. Stephanie collapsed within Stephen's arms, crying with so much love and happiness and of course she said yes!

After the excitement of that moment, they each called members of their families and close friends to share the news.

It was also time to eat! Stephen had planned a beautiful 5 course meal with the chef that he hired. The rest of the evening was filled with delicious foods, lots of champagne and all of the love.
