About Stephan and me...

I found this on my former roommate's blog, and I just had to do it :) Of course, I've modified it for my engagement...

1. Where did you meet?

We met on a blind date set up by my roommate Jenny and her friend Andrew, who happened to be in Stephan's single's ward. It was a double date to the BYU Men's and Women's Chorus concert and then to Maestro's Gelato at first.

2. How long did you date?

We met on November 8, 2008. According to Stephan, that's when we started dating. But according to me, we began exclusively dating on January 25, 2009. You see, between November and January, I went out with other guys...heh heh. Stephan didn't go out with anyone else. We got engaged on March 14. So...we were exclusively dating for about six weeks before our engagement. But we had known each other for four months beforehand. We're not a typical BYU couple because he doesn't go to BYU ;)
3. How long have you been engaged?

almost four months. Less than six weeks until we're married...agh!

4. What does he say that surprises you?

Hmm, that's a hard one. Once I borrowed his leather jacket and he whispered, "You look hot!" I was quite surprised.
5. What is your favorite feature of his?

I love his laugh. And I like how tall and skinny he is ;) He also has nice hazel eyes...

6. What is your favorite quality of his?

His kindness and devotion.
7. Does he have a nickname for you?

Not that I'm aware of.
8. What is his favorite color?

Green.

9. What is his favorite food?

Asian. Especially Japanese and Chinese. It's a good thing because he's marrying a girl who was born in Tokyo.

10. What is his favorite sport?

He really doesn't care for sports. Though he kind of likes baseball.

11. When and where did you first kiss?

March 14, 2009 in the car in the Park Plaza parking lot. If you look at that date and the date we got engaged, yes it was the same day. Stephan told me when we first started dating that he promised himself a long time ago that he wouldn't kiss a girl until he proposed to her. I was perfectly okay with that. I didn't want to kiss a guy unless it meant something. We were each other's first kiss.
12. What is your favorite thing to do as a couple?

Talk and cuddle.

13. Do you have any children?

We're not married yet and we're not planning on having kids for a little while.

14. Does he have a hidden talent?

He is a very talented woodworker. He actually made the engagement ring he proposed to me with.

15. How old is he?

21, but he will be 22 on July 30. Yes, I am the older woman, but I'm okay with that. ;)
16. Who said "I love you" first?

He did, on Valentine's Day while we were watching "You've Got Mail". I was pretty shocked. It took me a few minutes to say it back.

17. What is his favorite type of music?

Classical is his first choice.

18. What do you most admire about him?

He is always trying to improve.
19. Do you think he will read this?

He'd better ;)
