Story
We met each other when Steph was in her first year of optometry school and Sean was in his third year. Steph was looking for a church to attend and reached out to fourth-year student who went to a local church. That student was unable to show her around the church the upcoming Sunday, but gave Sean's contact information to Steph so that Sean could take her to church!
Tidbits
What's your favorite activity together?
We love to go hiking and spend time outdoors together!
Where are you going for your honeymoon?
We are going on a lovely trip to the islands of Mo'orea and Bora Bora!
What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?
Our first hiking trip was the most memorable! In the midst of COVID we decided to go on a road trip through the Utah national parks. We grew so much closer during that trip and learned so much about each other.
