After years of failed first dates (and countless good stories), Chris & Amy had both nearly given up on the online dating world. Thankfully they both hung on long enough to meet for coffee at J.Rene in West Hartford on April 8, 2016. Despite the amazing time they had, it took another month before they would see each other again. Amy thinks this was Chris' fault; Chris thinks this was Amy's fault; turns out they both may have been a bit to blame! Date #2 was a incredible evening at The Harvest Wine Bar in New Haven, where it quickly became apparent that online dating had been worth it after all. Thank you OKCupid.com.

A year after Amy & Chris had first met, Chris took Amy to his favorite spot at East Rock Park in New Haven. It was a cold April day as they hiked to watch the sunset over the city. After some wine & cheese Amy had begun to pack up, and Chris suggested that they take one last look at the view before they went home. Chris got down on one knee to propose and in a mix of excitement and disbelief Amy knelt down too, alternating yelling and joyful tears. Chris brought Amy back to The Harvest Wine Bar in New Haven and told her about all of the scheming and planning he had been keeping from her in preparation for the proposal. "Did you tell anyone yet?" Amy asked excitedly, "Oh, I told everybody!!" Chris proudly exclaimed. It turns out Amy was the very last to know.
