Ben's Version!

There I was, scrolling through the Hinge dating app with little expectation. I was then matched with a Rachel Cohen, innocent flirting turned into a first date during the Covid lockdown. I agreed to meet her outside of her apartment complex for drinks and snacks. When I pulled up to the date I noticed strikingly beautiful Rachel. The date went well with laughing and conversation. Even though I waited a few days to text her after the first date (played it cool) we ended up having a second and third date. After that somehow I got her to agree to officially start dating. Fast forward a few years and as you all know she then agreed to marry me.

Rachel's Version!

(with assistance from chatgpt!)

In the midst of chaos, when the world stood still,

I took a chance, an uncertain thrill.

Through the glow of screens, our paths aligned,

On Hinge's platform, fate defined.

Braving the unknown, I ventured forth,

Into the realm of online court.

With courage as my guiding light,

I embarked on love's digital flight.

Our first encounter, by the fire's glow,

In Plymouth Meeting's gentle flow.

Amidst the pandemic's isolation dire,

We found solace in each other's fire.

He spoke of family, his love for the green,

Golfing tales in the midst of quarantine.

Through talks of hobbies and family ties,

Our connection grew, reaching the skies.

A shared love for cooking, walks hand in hand,

In the quiet moments, we'd understand.

His kindness, a beacon, his sweetness, a balm,

In his presence, I found my calm.

Between our dates, moments missed,

Longing to feel his presence, insist.

As time unfolded, our bond grew deep,

In his embrace, I found solace to keep.

Fast forward to the fall's golden hue,

Where dreams take shape, love anew.

In a moment of magic, he knelt down to propose,

A future together, love's sweet repose.

And now, as we stand on love's threshold,

Two hearts entwined, forever bold.

I eagerly await the journey ahead,

With my love by my side, where dreams are spread.
