From Swipe to Forever
Our Story
Our shared journey began on a fateful day in August 2015, as two college students swiped their way into each other's lives via a digital realm. Christian was immersed in his Computer Science studies at Cal Poly Pomona, while Gerianne was preparing to begin her nursing program at Mount St. Mary's University. Little did they know, a simple swipe right would mark the commencement of their forever.
After exchanging daily texts and encouragement to one another, the two of them would decide to meet for dinner at an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant. It was here, amidst shared laughter and delicious food, that Christian realized Gerianne was the one he had been waiting for. It wasn't just a casual inkling but a profound certainty.
As their understanding of one another grew, so too did their fascination with each other. Christian knew that she would become his best friend, his companion, and the driving force behind his quest to become the best version of himself.
It didn't take long for Christian to express his love for Gerianne, even though it had only been a month since they first met. Gerianne, understandably skeptical, couldn't help but be touched by Christian's unwavering determination.
Numerous Skype calls and boba dates later, love found its way to the surface. Tired and nearly asleep, Christian confessed his feelings for Gerianne over the phone. Gerianne was unsure at first, especially considering they had been dating for about a month. However, Christian's persistence paid off. The very next day, overlooking the Cal Poly Pomona campus from the 10 freeway, Christian reiterated his proclamation of love in person, saying, "Hey, I meant what I said last night… I love you!"
Three influential words, two accomplished degrees, a lovable 60-pound English Bulldog, and a shared mortgage later, Christian decided the time had come to take their commitment to the next level. And so, against the backdrop of their cherished paradise, in the islands of Hawaii, at the breathtaking Haiku Mill, Christian got down on one knee and proposed. The answer came effortlessly, as Gerianne's resounding "Yes!" echoed through the air, sealing their love for eternity.
Now, we invite you to join us as we embark on this exciting new chapter. Together, we will exchange our vows and celebrate our love - a love that started with a simple swipe but quickly became our forever.
