We’re getting married!!

There are many stories I could tell you guys about when we first started dating and all the adventures we went on but there is just not enough space for that. So I will try and keep it short! Shawn and I met on an online dating app called Bumble in July of 2020. We never thought we would find our future wife/husband online but here we are. Our story started by Shawn swiping right on my profile and then waiting for me to start the conservation. (One of the rules on the app was that the girl had to start the conversation). After many failed conversations and feeling ready to give up on finding the right guy, I was going to take a break from the app for a while. But I decided to start a conversation with him and that is something I will never regret doing. We talked on the app for a few weeks before exchanging numbers. It wasn't until a month in of talking that we met in person. Shawn lived in Champaign so he drove to Starbucks in Bloomington to meet up. We were both very anxious at first but that didn't last long. I told him that my sisters and best friend knew where I was if he tried anything funny. He laughed and promised he was a good guy, and sure enough he was right. That following weekend I went to Champaign to see him and we went to a park on U of I's campus. That was also the night the asked me to be his girlfriend. From that day we have spent many hours together with family, friends, church, and of course, many roadtrips. Fast forward to July 18th when my life changed for the better. The love of my life got down on one knee and asked if I would be his wife. #oncloudankenbrandt
