Stephanie and Dale knew of each other in high school, but never formally met. Dale was three years older than her. Years later we reconnected via internet and hit it off from the start. They spoke over the internet and phone for a month or so before he finally asked her to meet him for drinks at Chilies on January 30, 2009. This was our official first date! A little over a year later Dale proposed at 1,000 steps beach in Laguna on March 27, 2010. He had asked her parent for her hand in marriage months before he actually proposed. Dale booked a hotel down in Carlsbad at one of our favorite beach spots, enjoyed the day walking around and hanging at the beach. Toward the later afternoon he wanted to adventure out of the box so we headed up to 1,000 steps to watch the sunset and to have dinner. We walked through the caves and sat up on the edge of the rocks to look out at the amazing view. It was not until They were up on the rocks that she could tell Dale was distracted with his own thoughts and was acting a little different. He began to share how much Stephanie meant to him and how his life has been forever changed from their love. She reached up and kissed him and while we were kissing she reached down for his hands hitting the jewelry box, almost knocking it in the ocean. Luckily he had a good grip or we would have been diving for it. Dale dropped down on one knee and proposed!
