Wedding Date on Oct 26, 2019

Daniel and Stephanie met through a mutual friend, but started as friends who had wayyyy more in common than the people they were dating. They were both geeks who liked Japanese pop culture exports, gift giving, sappy musicals and expressing their emotions. Eventually when they both found their selves single they took the leap and quickly fell head over heels for each other! For their first date, Daniel took Stephanie to a rooftop bar in Venice to watch the sunset over a cocktail and appetizers. They then went to a nice fancy dinner. Their most memorable moment from the first date would have to be when they made friends with a group of strangers sitting next to them, and Daniel confidently announced "This is our first date, but I'm going to marry this woman." And now here they are! Words from STEPHANIE: "I always call Daniel my unicorn because I honestly didn't think a human being existed that was as weird and wonderful and perfect for me as Daniel is. The love I have for him makes me stronger and I'm inspired by him daily. I'm simply so excited to spend my life with him. Being with him makes me feel safe, empowered to face all the bad days, and full of anticipation for the good days. He is the absolute best partner, and I'm incredibly grateful every day that we found each other and chose each other". From the Groom - "What does Stephanie mean to me? Whatever is more than everything. Stephanie taught me to believe in things I never did before, like soul mates and past lives and destiny. Also, cliches, apparently. I feel wholly known and understood like never before -- and it's exciting, not terrifying. I found the person that makes me feel like me. I can be myself and be unconditionally loved, yet I strive to be a better man to be worthy of the love she gives me. Every day is a love letter, a wedding vow, a blessing. I am the luckiest".
