Ethan started a new job at a Mercedes Benz dealership in January of 2020 where Stef had already been working for the past year. Stef worked in the reception area and Ethan worked in the Service Department as an advisor. The two of them worked alongside each other for about 3 months and were just starting to get to know each other professionally when COVID hit and both were furloughed. Unfortunately, Ethan did not get Stef’s phone number before the furlough and felt an opportunity might’ve passed him by. Fortunately, both Stef and Ethan were hired back on in July later in that same year. Upon first sight there was an unusual happiness that fell over them. A happiness both knew was to be more than just a professional acquaintance. One day, Ethan invited Stef out to lunch and assured her it wasn’t a date. Stef agreed to go only to find nobody else had been invited and it was just the two of them. Ethan jokes that was their first date that wasn’t a date, a joke that still awaits Stef’s laughter. The two of them finally went out on a couple of official dates and hit it off. After some time, Ethan had the pleasure of meeting Esperanza on a date with Stef over some pizza. Esperanza was shy at first, and after about all of 4 minutes opened up and was her bubbly outgoing self again. Ethan and Stef fell in love with each other. Esperanza could tell it was pretty serious and when asked if she would like to move in together she jumped at the opportunity without hesitation. The 3 of them continue to live together in Sunnyvale, CA in their townhouse. Ethan continues to be a Service Advisor at Mercedes and Stef is enjoying her new roll in the accounting department at the same dealership. The 3 of them enjoy a variety of hobbies together. Often times they’ll find themselves making a small road trip to visit family, playing at the park and having a picnic, riding bikes, swimming and anything outdoor-related with hopes to get into camping soon. The 3 of them are incredibly excited to share their special day with you and are flattered you’re willing to make the trip to Hollister.
