Stephanie and Gian first met at Green Eggs Café, where they both worked. He was immediately smitten with Stephanie and couldn't stop thinking about her until she finally agreed to go on a date with him a year later.

Behind Gian's tough exterior at work is a kind, caring, and selfless person, and he always makes Stephanie feel like the most important person in the room.

Stephanie fell in love with Gian because of his big heart and the way he made her feel.

For Gian, Stephanie is the most beautiful woman he's ever seen, and as they got to know each other better, he realized that there was so much more to her than just her looks. He fell in love with her because she is calm, caring, and selfless, and she has completely changed his life for the better.

The Proposal:

During the pandemic, Gian proposed to Stephanie at her sister's house, which she has always considered a "home." Gian made sure to involve Stephanie's sisters and her niece and nephew in the proposal, as they are all significant to her.

It was Stephanie's birthday week, and she was in the kitchen when Gian asked if she was sick of all the gifts. Stephanie responded by saying, "never." Gian then got down on one knee and proposed, with Stephanie's sisters and niece cheering him on.

Both Stephanie and Gian are most looking forward to seeing each other for the first time as newlyweds and walking down the aisle together as husband and wife.
