It's 2016.. Richie, a medical student new to Florida, is shopping for shoes at ALDO in the UTC mall when he meets a funny and ambitious saleswoman named Stephanie. After a mountain of tried on shoes (and even more quirky pick up lines), Richie asks Stephanie "What's your number because I'm calling you tonight and I'm taking you out on Sunday." He left that day securing a first date that led to a loving 8 year relationship. (He got the shoes too 😉). Since that first date, we have grown to be each other's life partners. We always make time for fun adventures together. Sometimes the adventure is traveling to a different country, sometimes it's digging for treasures at thrift stores in our own backyard. We are both family-oriented people and have met each other's entire family from all over the world (from Florida to Texas, California, Philippines, and Australia!) The more we learn about each other from bonding with each other's family, the stronger our love and understanding from each other has grown. We can't wait to unite all of our family members and closest friends together to celebrate transitioning our love into marriage!
