We met via a dating app called Bumble, and our first date was at Strangelove's, a restaurant in Philadelphia. Neither one of us imagined meeting the love of our lives that night, but we did. Steven talked a lot (as usual) and made Monica laugh. She was finishing up a difficult clinical rotation at the time and so looked forward to her dates with Steven where she would be relaxed and always have a fun time. About a year and a half later they had experienced a mission trip to Kenya together, loss of loved ones, a new home, a job change, road trips powered by the Hamilton soundtrack, and 11 Star Wars movies. On January 4th, 2020, Steven pulled off the greatest surprise and proposed to Monica! Since our engagement, we have enjoyed every moment of planning this wedding, but mostly have been looking forward to our marriage and being husband and wife! We are so grateful to have you as part of our lives and cannot wait to celebrate our marriage with you on September 10th, 2021!
