come with me, my love, to the sea, the sea of love

We both swiped right on Tinder in November 2014. Geoff cancelled our first date, and Abby was super annoyed. Our dear friend Devan encouraged Abby to take Geoff up on his offer of a second date. So we met at a bar in Chelsea called Trailer Park Lounge, shared very strong frozen margaritas, loaded tater tots, and our first kiss. A regular Prince Charming and Tinderella, am I right?

We were eating Taco Bell and drinking vino verde on our living room floor. Geoff started laughing uncontrollably as he placed a tiny red box on Abby's stomach and said "Well, this is for you." Since Abby told Geoff no public, birthday, or holiday proposals, this felt just right for us both. We laughed for about ten minutes, hugged and kissed each other and our kitty Stella, then called our closest friends and family to share the joy.
