Above is Steve and Laura's first photo together- October 2016

Steve and Laura met at Moonshine Flats sometime in June 2016. They encountered each other on the dance floor, where Steve attempted to teach Laura a few dance moves. Amid some chatting and a few questionable attempts at turns from Laura, they found a connection. The next day, Steve reached out to her on Facebook, and they started talking.

Their first official date was to a haunted house at the Del Mar Fairgrounds on September 30, 2016. That turned out to be a very significant day because it was not only Laura's son Wyatt's birthday (They had a celebration earlier that day), but also the day she closed on her house and the day she went on her first date with her future husband.

After a few months of dating, they realized the timing just wasn’t right and decided to stay friends. Laura was lucky enough to be embraced by the country crowd and would regularly hang out at events with Steve and their friends.

Fast forward to April 2019, when the friend group took a trip to Bali. To everyone's surprise, Steve joined the trip at the last minute, and their romance rekindled.

Since then, they have shared a home, adopted Beans and Karl, changed jobs, grown a business, traveled frequently together, had 17 hamsters, and deepened their love and partnership. Through all the years and distance, the love between them has remained strong. This day has been 10 years in the making. They are so excited to take the next step in their love story!
