“My wife is the strongest, goofiest, most beautiful-ist (not a word, I know), most stubborn, passionate, kindest, and generous person I've ever known. To put our story in a nutshell, we met in Taekwondo when I was 9 years old. I knew I'd marry her. Our families trained and won multiple championships together. She moved (was sad). And then she came back to attend Sacramento State where we were reunited. 20 years later we got together, started training Muay Thai kickboxing together (she can really beat me up), got married, and now we have a beautiful daughter. Love can be a tricky game. I was introduced to the love of my life 20 years before I actually had an opportunity to go after her. It took me a long time to crawl my way out of the friend zone but I finally did and I wouldn't have it any other way.”

“ One afternoon I decided to go for a walk around Central Park. There was an outdoor festival/ flea market type thing going on which made for great people watching. I pulled out my camera and began taking photos when Nick came up to me. He asked me why I was in New York and I told him I was on my way to Iceland. His eyes lit up and he responded, "No way! The posters I'm signing are of me skiing in Iceland!" I laughed, assuming it was just a line, but I humored him and took a poster anyways. Later that day, I looked him up on Instagram and commented on a photo he took at the festival saying "Hi, I'm the Iceland girl. If you're ever in LA and need a tour guide let me know." This was super out of character for me. A couple months later, I get a phone call from Nick saying he's in LA and wants to hang out. We had a great first date and ended up keeping in touch for a year as friends until he moved from Colorado to California. Now we've been together for almost two years.”

How We Met, Love Stories
“Tyler and Leah are High School sweethearts and it was love at first sight. Fast forward to five years later- after many deployments, countless flights to see each other, and thousands of miles driven- Tyler was home on post-deployment leave when he asked Leah to spend forever with him. Of course she said yes and now three years later they are finally planning their wedding. This couple knows first hand that freedom isn't free, but in each other they have found their own definition of the American Dream. They describe their relationship using the words friendship, acceptance, unconditional love, trial and error, and adventure.”
