Although they knew of each other in high school, Jose and Stephanie didn’t officially meet until 2018, when a casual drink at a bar turned into the start of something special. The connection was instant, and the rest is history. On March 17, 2019, during a hike in Austin, Texas, Jose asked Stephanie to be his girlfriend, marking the beginning of a beautiful journey together.

As Stephanie began law school and Jose completed both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees, they remained committed not only to their relationship but also to their individual goals. Through every late-night study session and milestone achievement, they supported one another wholeheartedly. Today, they share a home filled with love—and four beloved fur babies: Edie, Piper, Georgie, and Gracie. Whether they’re at a live music show, planning their next travel adventure, or enjoying a cozy coffee date, they’re happiest simply being together—and they can’t wait to begin this next chapter as husband and wife.
