Stephanie and Andres met when they were teenagers back at Torch Middle School in La Puente, CA. Since the early 2000’s they always had a great friendship, they attended Middle School and High School together and often had the same classes together. Stephanie always disliked math and Andres was always willing to help her understand it. Both actually do not remember their first date since they’d often hang out one on one as just friends. A date they can definitely remember is the weekend they made their relationship official. Andres enjoyed participating in weight lifting competitions in his early 20’s. Back in November 2014 he invited Stephanie to accompany him to San Diego for a powerlifting competition he signed up for, to this day Stephanie has the pink memorabilia t-shirt he bought her that weekend. After that weekend, their friendly relationship became weekly sushi and sake dates at their favorite Japanese Restaurant. On their 5 year anniversary Andres planned a weekend getaway for them to return to San Diego. Stephanie had no clue he was planning to propose on 11/9/2019 at the Hard Rock Hotel. She was overjoyed when he presented his anniversary gift to her; a scrapbook with stickers and photos of the 5 years they had been together. Stephanie has always been the craftier one therefore Andres’ efforts were very much appreciated. As she turned to the final page of the book, he was already down on one knee! Both enjoy spending time together exploring new and unique coffee shops and eateries near their home. They look forward to finding hidden gems whenever they travel and are very excited to explore new spots during their Honeymoon. After nearly 10 years together now, they can’t wait to tie the knot on 10/19/2024 and start their happily ever after!
