Our story began in July 2020, and it’s one for the ages!

(Her POV) Imagine a dimly lit room, a cozy bed, and a lonely girl scrolling through her phone.

(His POV) Meanwhile, outdoors at a friend’s house, a BBQ is happening, and a solitary man is swiping away on his trusty device.

Summer 2020 was the height of dating apps, and with lockdowns in place, traditional meeting spots like bars, bookstores, and coffee shops were off-limits. So, what do lonely singles do? They dive headfirst into the world of dating apps!

After countless swipes—both left and right—something magical happened: the universe brought us together. Was it her funny and witty bio? His charming personality? Or maybe it was how stunningly beautiful he thought she was? Thankfully, his profile was free of fish pictures or stacks of cash, or that would have been a dealbreaker!

Now, here comes the fun part—we still debate who messaged whom first. But since the woman is always right, let’s just say he reached out first. After some playful conversations and a few Facetime chats, we decided it was time to meet. Jacob invited her over for their first date, and given the lockdown, she was a bit nervous—was this man a serial killer? Fortunately, he wasn’t! Being the smart girl she is, she shared her location with her friends and made sure they knew where she was going, just in case.

That first date? Jacob wowed her with the best hot, spicy sandwich she had ever tasted! The night went perfectly, and they both knew they wanted to see each other again. What started as a casual meeting blossomed into the most beautiful relationship either of them had ever experienced.

As the months flew by, Jacob cleared out a section of his closet just for Patsy’s clothes—not just a drawer, but a whole section! (Little did he know, he’d soon find himself with very little closet space left!) Their relationship continued to flourish, and before long, they bought their first house together. Shortly after, they spontaneously welcomed their furbaby, Ozzy, into their lives. Life was amazing—what could be better?

Enter Jacob’s surprise birthday trip for Patsy to two of their favorite places, Flagstaff and Sedona. While hiking at Devil’s Bridge, Patsy was out of breath and ready to call it quits. But Jacob had a plan! He encouraged her to keep going, reminding her of the breathtaking views and how much she wanted to complete the hike. Finally, they reached the top, and after waiting in line for a picture on Devil’s Bridge, the moment arrived. With Patsy terrified of heights, Jacob followed her lead and, out of nowhere, got down on one knee! After a heartfelt speech, he popped the question. Patsy, completely taken by surprise, blacked out in the best way possible and, after saying a resounding “YES!”, jumped for joy, exclaiming, “I’M A FIANCÉE!” as the crowd around them cheered.

And now, here we are, engaged and ready to say “I do” as we embark on the beautiful journey of life together.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love & support as we celebrate our next chapter together.

The end.
