How did you meet?

Stephanie (pictured not levitating): A little over four years ago, we were introduced through a mutual friend on our way to a wedding. Although I was with my ex at the time, I remember seeing Karina and thinking "shit"... since she was so beautiful and I was immediately drawn to her.



Karina: It was kinda love at first sight...when I first saw her at the port authority I said to myself, "Omglob...I'm a lesbian." No, but really I am...during the time I hadn't come out to anyone yet, but she definitely confirmed it. But throughout our 4 year awkward friendship, we both had girlfriends. Now fast forward to 2016 and we are getting married!



How long have you been together?

1 year



What does love mean to each of you?

Steph: What does love mean to me? It means having a partner in crime. It means having someone to lean on and having someone there to support and guide you in rough times. It's getting to sleep next to your best friend every night. It's every good part of love and fun you've ever felt growing up, from slumber parties, and inside jokes, to having mom take care of you when you're sick, rolled up into something even better.



Karina: Love, to me, means having that one person who you can always count on... Someone who loves you for your flaws and imperfections... The one person who you can fart and burp around with and no matter what, they'll still think you're the sexiest person alive and will make you feel loved and wanted and not judged.
