We met on the online dating site eHarmony. Lyndsey saw a profile of Alex and sent a a "smile", the equivalent of a "wink" or "poke", to catch his eye. Upon getting the notification, Alex immediately looked at her profile and returned in kind. Deciding to pursue further, he also sent some icebreaker questions that the site had pre-written. After about a week of back and forth questions, Alex sent Lyndsey a message with his phone number, to continue communicating. Their continued texting led up to Thanksgiving with a plan to meet up after the holiday. They met for the first time, in person, on Saturday December 2nd, 2017. What was supposed to only be a drink or two became an almost 7 hour, closing down of the Tavern at Washington Park. The rest is history. One year later, to the day of their first date, Alex got down on bent knee to propose...Lyndsey of course said "Yes!"
