How we met:

Good old Hinge… first time we messaged was in October 2022 but didn’t actually meet up in person until April 2023. The ironic part is I was always against dating apps lol At one point I had even deleted my account. Then through time, I realized that I wish I had given John a chance, as I enjoyed writing with him. I reactivated it in hopes to cross paths with him again and 1 week later we reconnected, set up a date and the rest is history :)

Our first date:

We met for dinner halfway between us, at a little tavern on a hill in Moodus.

How he popped the question:

After my fashion show, as if my heart wasn’t racing on stage already lol We came early to help my teacher set up and stayed later to help clean up. We both were tired and decided to get take out. It happened after we had dinner in my condo, in my little view room overlooking the water. I was not expecting it all lol. I think my heart was pounding fast for like an hour after lol
