About Couple
"In 2021, we met while working at First Republic Bank in San Francisco, California. Through work events, we discovered a shared interest for running. Judy was training for a marathon at the time, and we often found ourselves running side by side through the streets of San Francisco, sharing stories and getting to know each other. A few months later, Chris asked Judy out on a date. Our first date was at an Italian restaurant, Fiorella’s, in Nob Hill on April 14, 2022. By God's grace, what began as a connection between colleagues grew into a strong bond, rooted in faith.
Nearly two and a half years later, we've travelled across the country to visit family and friends, and to international adventures like England, France, Italy, Japan, and Switzerland. But our most special trip happened in Oahu. On September 8, 2024, on Waikiki Beach, Chris got down on one knee to propose — and Judy said yes!"
