Once upon a time, two kind and beautiful people lived only about an hour apart, yet had never met. That changed after Angel went to a 76ers basketball game in Philadelphia. Her Philly adventure shifted the settings on her dating app, putting her profile within Benson’s reach. When Benson saw Angel’s profile, he instantly sent her a message — asking the sweetest question: “What’s your favorite ice cream?” Both Angel and Benson felt like they’d struck the jackpot as their conversation flowed effortlessly. Wasting no time, Angel planned a fun first date — an exciting Escape Room adventure for the two of them to meet in person. Fate, of course, added its own twist: on the way to the Escape Room, Benson got into a minor fender bender and showed up an hour late. Angel was relieved she wasn’t being catfished—and when they finally met, it felt like the stars had aligned. Their first night together unfolded like a scene from a romantic comedy at the King of Prussia Mall — browsing a comic shop and guessing superhero symbols, Angel happily munching on an Auntie Anne’s pretzel, and ending up at a late-night escape room where they actually won the game! The evening wrapped up at The Grand Lux Café, with Benson floating on cloud nine because his date was not only gorgeous but enjoyed talking about super heroes! Before heading home at 1 a.m., they shared their very first kiss — which turned out to be their “last first kiss.” Five years later, Benson brought their story full circle with an unforgettable proposal at the very place of their first date. Secretly, he had gone into the escape room ahead of time and planted the ring box where the final clue would be located. Their friends were there to play the game too, but they stepped back at the end of the game, fully in on the surprise, and videotaped the entire moment. As Angel solved the final clue, a drawer popped open — and there it was: a white ring box. Surprised and overjoyed, Angel looked up to see Benson give the best speech of his life and go down on one knee. Surrounded by the same excitement and laughter that had marked their very first adventure together, she said yes — and this time, there was no escaping true love! 💍❤️
