Everyone knew this was different.  It wasn't the giddiness, excitement, or laughter that comes with a bourgeoning relationship that showed how smitten they were.  While those things were present, it was quiet, methodical actions that made friends and family realize that this?  This was different.

Stephanie would wake up early to help Phillip plan for USC tailgating parties, even spending the night before loading his car with snacks, a grill, and libations.  Phillip would stay up late studying for law school finals with Stephanie, even heading back to the library after a Lakers game just to be by her side.  It was their systematic actions of care and devotion that made people realize they were destined for a long life of love and commitment.

Stephanie and Phillip married at The Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel, along the shimmering Pacific Ocean.  They promised each other to continue their love not by way of mere words, but actions.  Late nights at work, sunny tailgating days, and a Maldives honeymoon was on the horizon, but little mattered more than their simple promise to remain at each others' sides.  Forever.

I wouldn’t say we were business nerds but my husband just sent me a Slack message asking me to call him.
