It all started with two right swipes in 2021. After a few weeks of messaging we met at Pizza Antica in Lafayette. Matt was 10 minutes early and Allie circled the restaurant a few times due to parking anxiety (IYKYK). After a year of medium distance dating, Matt made the move all the way from Berkeley to Dublin to join Allie and Jack the pug. We've enjoyed many visits to Disneyland, snow trips to Lake Tahoe, Kauai, meeting up with friends in the Pacific Northwest, and most recently our mega trip to Paris, France-Disneyland Paris-Walt Disney World at the end of March. One of our favorite activities on our Paris trip was a full day at the Palace of Versailles. We joined a bike tour group where we first went to the local market and bought way too much food for a picnic for two. A fresh baguette, a variety of sliced salami, foie gras, goat cheese, brie, 2 quiches, some tasty pineapple "from heaven", strawberries, juice for Matt, 2 croissants, pain au chocolat, a lemon meringue tarte, and 2 eclairs fit in the basket on our bikes. With our guide, we rode through the Château’s enormous park of trails and tree-lined paths. We tried our best to enjoy all the food we purchased during our picnic at the end of the Grand Canal. After lunch we rode to Marie Antoinette’s Hamlet and made our way to the Château! While exploring the many rooms in the Palace, Matt got a view of the backyard aka the royal gardens and decided that would be a pretty good spot to pop the question. After we made our way through the all the rooms and the Hall of Mirrors in the Château we ventured out to the gardens to explore and take some selfies. Allie was enjoying the quiet scenery when Matt got down on one knee!
