It all started back in 2019 during a travel insurance training when a beautiful woman caught Stephond’s eye. Desperate to make conversation, he had to think fast! So, Stephond did what any logical man would do- he made up a lie. Pretending to need help, Stephond built up the courage to approach his gorgeous co-worker, Sasha. After they broke the ice, the two hit it off and became fast friends, feeling as if their souls had been waiting a lifetime to meet. While this would usually be the moment one would say, “and they lived happily ever after”, instead fate had other plans. It took two years, a pandemic, and a reconnection for Stephond and Sasha to finally realize they shared a connection that had the potential to last a lifetime. Once the two love birds decided to take a chance on love, things just seemed to fall perfectly into place. Their relationship was effortless from the start, filled with so many sweet memories, lots of laughs and fun adventures. Then, while taking a spontaneous trip to New York City, Sasha and Stephond found themselves on a bench on top of Rockefeller Center. Deep in conversation, feeling as if time was standing still, they fell in love. Between Stephond’s comforting spirit and captivating smile Sasha adores so much, to Sasha’s genuine heart and ability to make Stephond feel at home in her presence, they knew they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. Since that fateful day, with every milestone and movie marathon date shared, the two fell more in love than they could have ever imagined. Knowing that the missing piece was making Sasha his beautiful bride, Stephond got to work planning a meaningful proposal that included two of Sasha’s favorite things: the movies and her best friend, Amy. On May 12, 2023, after taking Sasha out to a new theatre, Stephond suggested they take a scenic walk together, ending at a nearby fountain. Sasha was on cloud nine when she soon looked down to see Stephond on one knee asking her the question of a lifetime. And as if things couldn’t get any sweeter, Stephond planned for Sasha’s bestie to come from behind the fountain to not only capture the proposal, but to be part of such a special moment in Sasha’s life. Stephond definitely understood the assignment! This year, the soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. Hill have been busy with wedding planning, loving on their sweet fur baby, Kharma, and enjoying making their house a home. Of course, they still fit in their beloved movie dates and marathons whenever they get the chance! What they look forward to most in the months ahead is celebrating their big day with the family and friends they cherish most in this world.
