My love is mine all mine

After meeting by chance while Magnolia was passing through Pittsburgh, they decided to plan a date. Since they lived three hours apart at the time they decided to meet half way between for a weekend adventure. They met in Cambridge, OH where they had the first date at a little restaurant called The Forum where Maggie still fondly remarks about the Rueben. The next day they spent exploring Columbus where they went to Ritzy's, the place that would soon become their go to for celebrations (including their engagement a few months later!)

Magnolia had finally gotten the ring that the two of them had decided on a few weeks prior in the mail. While she had originally planned to propose on their birthday a few days later, their anxious spirits took over. They started their evening at Ritzy's with a quick milkshake before closing. There Magnolia first proposed as Ritzy's was their favorite place. Dressed up in their nicest outfits, they proceeded to go to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. There she proposed again for fun! A few weeks later, they returned to Ritzy's for a part 2! The couple had painstakingly looked over rings fopr Magnolia, after weeks of waiting it arrived in the mail. At the time, the two worked a preschool teachers in Upper Arlington, OH. The two rushed home to grab the newly delivered ring to hurry back to Ritzy's before closing. There Lex proposed. If you go the Ritzy's Instagram page you can still see their post celebrating the love between these two that was born at Ritzy's.
