Our Story

How We Met

Ethan was settling into his first year of medical school, and Nikki was beginning a new chapter in Arizona when they happened to meet online. What began as a simple conversation slowly developed into a loving relationship unlike any other.

The Proposal

Ethan took Nikki to Hawaii for the first time, eager to share with her a place that had long held meaning in his heart. One warm evening, they wandered hand in hand through the charming streets of Kāʻanapali, eventually pausing for ice cream and a quiet moment by the shore. As the waves stretched endlessly beneath the starlit sky, they reminisced about their journey together. And then, with the ocean as witness, Ethan knelt down and asked the question that would begin the next chapter of their lives together.
