The day we met! Although we grew up just 20 minutes apart, our paths didn’t cross until fate brought us both to Arizona in March of 2021! Stephanie was visiting friends, while Richard was hosting friends of his own. One evening, our mutual friends decided to meet up in Scottsdale, AZ—and that’s where it all began. We met, started talking, and couldn’t stop all night. The rest, as they say, is history!

Our first vacation together took us on a weekend to Puerto Peñasco, Mexico. It was the perfect start to a lifetime of traveling and adventures together!

We took the next big step and signed a lease, officially moving into a two-bedroom apartment in Old Town Scottsdale, Arizona. It was the beginning of building our life together under one roof!

In one of our biggest milestones yet, we became homeowners! We bought our first house together in Mesa, Arizona, turning it into a place filled with love, laughter, and new memories.

The moment we had both been waiting for finally happened—he proposed, and she said "YES!" It was a magical and unforgettable day, filled with love, joy, and the promise of forever. We couldn’t be more excited to spend the rest of our lives together.
