Ethan & Liana Vance
“From a 2 A.M. Coffee Debate to Wedding Bells in Lake Como”
San Francisco, CA • September 2025
Married in a private garden ceremony overlooking Lake Como. They now reside in Northern California with their golden retriever, Barnaby.
“We both had almost given up on dating apps until SetWed. The compatibility algorithm matched us based on our core life values and love for quiet weekend getaways. Within two weeks of talking, we knew this wasn't just another date—it was our lifelong partner.”
Our Journey to Forever
Story Chapters
First Spark
Ethan was a product designer in San Francisco, and Liana was a pediatric nurse. Both were exhausted by superficial swipes and ghosting on mainstream apps. When SetWed launched in early 2024, they signed up hoping for intentional conversation. Their 98% compatibility score highlighted shared priorities: slow travel, family values, and a mutual obsession with third-wave pour-over coffee.
The Turning Point
Their first date was scheduled for a quick coffee at a quiet café in Hayes Valley. That quick coffee stretched into a 4-hour walk through Golden Gate Park, talking about childhood memories, philosophical dilemmas, and what genuine partnership means in modern life. By date three, Ethan deleted all other apps.
The Proposal
Sixteen months later, during a sunset weekend hike along the cliffs of Big Sur, Ethan surprised Liana with a custom ethical diamond ring. With the Pacific waves crashing below, he asked her to spend the rest of their lives building their shared dreams. Through joyful tears, she said yes before he could even finish the question.
The Wedding Day
In September 2025, Ethan and Liana gathered 85 of their closest friends and family at a historic villa overlooking Lake Como, Italy. It was an intimate, heartfelt celebration infused with golden sunset light, live acoustic music, and personal vows that celebrated their journey from strangers to soulmates.
