In a galaxy far, far, away, there began a fairytale. A force so powerful, it was bound to be completed.

There is some debate on when the happy couple first met. The very first time they were in the same place was for Bristol Reinnisance Faire. However the star did not align at that moment. It was a friend's graduation party when they first started a friendship. Liz and Tim would see each other maybe two or three times a year. After 2 years, Liz and Tim were at a New Years Eve party with mutual friends when the spark triggered with one of them. Can you take a guess on who it was??

The love story continues 1 month after that New Years Eve party. Liz and Tim exchanged texts (initiated by Liz mostly because she knew what she wanted) during those months. It was at the end of January when Tim finally took the plunge and asked Liz on a date. The date had to wait 2 weeks before both were available to go on that awkward first date. February 6th took forever to arrive but it finally came and both Liz and Tim were super nervous. Tim arrived at Liz's home on time with beautiful flowers and ready to surprise her with a night in Schaumburg. On the way to the first part of the date, Tim missed the exit and they arrived just in time to see the start of the movie Kung Fu Panda 3. It was their first adventure together and they both came out of it with laughs and a great first memory. After the movie, Tim surprised Liz with the next part which was dinner and arcade games at GameWorks. Dinner was great and the games were a bit awkward because Liz was not familiar with arcade games like Tim was. The best part was playing Mario Kart arcade style. We will keep the secret of who kicked butt at Mario Kart the most. The date was fun and a perfect start of what they both didn't know would be their last "First Date".

Liz and Tim have been together for almost 3 years now when they decided they knew they would eventually get married. Back in April of 2018, they went engagement ring shopping and picked "the ring". After spending the weekend of Labor Day with family and friends, Tim and Liz were getting ready to cook breakfast together. Liz asked Tim to get bacon ready when he secretly grabbed the engagement ring and walked into the kitchen. Liz was preparing pancake mix when he walked to her and said "before we start breakfast, I wanted to finally give you this". Tim got down on one knee and asked Liz to marry him. Before she answered, she was speechless. Obviously, she said yes and they called their families and friends to announce the news. They did eventually get to breakfast after a few hours of speaking with loved ones. In case anyone was wondering!! Thanks for reading our love story!!!!
