While driving back from a hike one day, Kim suddenly brought up how much she wanted to eat pineapples in Hawaii. By then, we had been on about six dates, so I wasn't totally convinced at first. Over the next week, she kept making pitches about how amazing pineapples are in Hawaii, and after a while, I finally agreed to go since, at this point, it was clear she really wanted to go.

When we started planning, we realized we could get a lot of discounts, so we ended up booking a 32-day trip! Thinking back on it now, I am surprised we went on such a long trip early in the relationship.

On the first day we arrived, we immediately went for our first Hawaiian pineapple, and I have to admit, it really does taste better there.

During our 30 days in Hawaii, we talked a lot about life and grew even closer. I thought we were already boyfriend and girlfriend, but she made me ask her to make it "official". So in Hawaii, I asked her to become my girlfriend.
