Stephanie and David first met in November 2021 when they were both stationed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. They had their first date at a brewery called Nowhere in Particular, followed by tacos at a local establishment.

After a year and a half of dating, the military decided it was time for David to move to Los Angeles, California. While visiting Ohio for the holidays in 2023, David popped the question to Stephanie at the spectacular Cincinnati Zoo's Festival of Lights.

They are both now stationed together at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico and they both love hiking and outdoor activities. They enjoy living out west and hope to visit as many National Parks together as they can.
