Hey there, fellow love enthusiasts! Today, I'm beyond excited to share with you a heartwarming story that's sure to make your day a little brighter. Picture this: a picturesque restaurant overlooking the serine ocean, filled with the tantalizing aroma of gourmet cuisine. Sounds dreamy, right? Well, buckle up because it gets even better.

Meet Julius and Debie, two foodies whose love story is as delicious as the dishes they adore. From their first date over a shared love of exotic flavors to countless culinary adventures around the world, their passion for tasty foods has always been the spice in their relationship. So, when Julius decided it was time to pop the big question aka ask Debie “Will you marry me?” he knew he had to pull out all the stops. He called up all their food loving friends and made reservations at their favorite restaurant, 53 by the Sea. Talk about a recipe for romance!

On the day of the proposal, the Julius buzzed with excitement and anticipation. He had everyone gather on the terrace and made his move. Debie was so shook when she realized that he was on down one knee and had a ring box in hand. She said yes, of course! There were many cheers and happy tears. Their friends surrounded them with love and support which made the moment even more unforgettable, not to mention they all got to toast to the newly engaged couple and celebrate with them after!

Now, as a proposal photographer at Jolene Kaneshige Photography, I had the honor of capturing the moment of Julius and Debie's unforgettable evening. From the look of sheer surprise on Debie's face to the tender embrace shared between the two, every frame tells a story of love.

As far as proposals go this one was Chef’s kiss! So here's to Julius and Debie, a couple whose love is as sweet as dessert and as enduring as a fine wine. May your journey together be filled with laughter, adventure, and, of course, plenty of delicious meals shared along the way.
