Online. Dating…. We didn’t meet at Westfield State University where we were both in the same graduating class of 2017! Thanks to the recommendation by Lauren (Maid of Honor) and Mike (Groomsman) to try out Hinge- we met online. James messaged me in the summer of 2018. We talked for 3 weeks before our first date and 3+ years later, here we are!

7.7.21. We were vacationing in Maui, Hawaii and we just got back to the resort after hiking Haleakala Crater one night. James asked me to take a walk along the Ka’anapali beach walkway. We veered off the path to listen to the ocean waves and look up at the stars. When I turned around, he was down on one knee!
