Swiped Right ---> on Bumble. Chris: "Let's meet for drinks. I know a bar that serves some quality water." Meg: *Eye roll* We met for dinner at Brickwall in Asbury Park and shared mac n' cheese as an appetizer. After dinner, we walked the Boardwalk, listening to some live music and stopped to sit at every bench to just talk and get to know each other. The next day, we spent the afternoon together soaking up the sun on the beach.

Chris decided that he wanted a golden retriever puppy. I told him that he was crazy for wanting to deal with a crazy puppy in a 1 bedroom apartment with no yard. Chris won. We went to PA to pick out a puppy, out of a liter of 13! All of the puppies were adorable and had 'D' names. I liked a puppy named Dusty and Chris liked one named Drover. Chris let me have the final say and on 4/6/18, Chris picked up Dusty. It took us 2 days to come up with the name Finn. Our lives revolve around our sweet-faced, crazy energetic, pool and beach loving, kiss-giving, toy destroying, 85 lb, cuddle bug. He is thrilled that his parents are getting married!

It was a normal Friday during Quarantine- I was working from the kitchen table and Chris was off and was mowing the lawn. Chris kept coming inside and asking me when I would be done working. I assumed he was just bored being that he was off and I was working. I kept telling him I would be done faster if he left me alone. I finished up a call and went outside in the backyard. Chris hugged me and said that he had a very important question to ask me. Chris got down on one knee. I said "What is happening?" Chris simply said "I love you. Will you marry me?" He pulled the ring box out of the planter on the patio and opened the box. I immediately said "Yes!" Finn was jumping all over Chris and I and trying to eat the ring box. Chris stood up and I gave him the biggest hug and then he put the gorgeous ring on my finger. Simple and sweet.
