How We Met

When "swiping right" goes right...

It's a modern-day love story really. Girl downloads a new dating app out of curiosity. Boy swipes right on the girl. Girl swipes right on boy. They match and have two random Facebook connections (shoutout to Scott & Jamie). The boy ends up being with those Facebook friends when he matches with the girl. Friend says to the boy "How do you know Amber? She's awesome! You should definitley date her." And the rest is history.

The Proposal

The gift that keeps on giving...

On Christmas day we woke up pretty early to exchange presents. Raf slyly handed me a ring box and told me to open it. When I looked inside there was a pair of gorgeous diamond earrings. Now if you know me, you know I have no poker face, so my initial facial expression of "OMG, is this the moment I've been waiting for," went to "okay, these are cute." Nevertheless, I was grateful for my new bling. But about 15 minutes later, when I was getting dressed to go start cooking my Christmas collard greens, this little sneak was sitting at the edge of the bed. He looked emotional and I asked him what was wrong. He replied, "I feel like you were disappointed with the earnings, I never want to disappoint you. You deserve everything and I want to be the one to give it to you." Now I'm crying, but still clueless to what's going on, trying to reassure him that I'm not upset and that he could never disappoint me and that I appreciate the way he expresses his love every day. The next thing I know, he pulls the ring out of nowhere, gets down on one knee, and asks me to be his wife! #BestChistmasEver We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. Formal invites to come in June 2021. See you in Poughkeepsie!
