After dozens of unsuccessful Tinder dates, Elizabeth was beginning to feel disillusioned with the prospect of finding a suitable mate with a silly app. But then she swiped right on a handsome young chap with an adorable smile and a clever sense of humor. They started chatting it up, then met up at a bar in Virginia Highlands. Elizabeth's first impression of Ben was that he was homeless (maybe it was the wild hair and unruly beard). But he was oh so charming and funny! They played a made-up game with yahtzee dice: if Ben rolled a certain number, he had to kiss Elizabeth or a stranger of Elizabeth's choosing on the cheek (note, not on the lips haha). If Elizabeth rolled a certain number, again he had to kiss whomever Elizabeth chose. At the time, it seemed like the best game ever. Elizabeth and Ben clicked instantly. Two girls even noted that they were positive Elizabeth and Ben would get married! At the end of their first date, Elizabeth and Ben headed home. Elizabeth was freaked out when Ben followed her to her apartment. But they turned out to be next door neighbors!! They went on a second, third, and fourth date, and eventually deleted Tinder for good. :)
Ben and Elizabeth traveled to Bermuda. On their first day of the trip, while walking to dinner, Ben paused at a picturesque cliff overlooking the ocean. He got down on one knee, opened a box containing the most beautiful ring, and asked Elizabeth to marry him. She didn't hesitate to say yes! Ben was so excited about the engagement that shortly thereafter, he crashed their moped and Elizabeth's knee was injured. She hobbled for the rest of their trip, but the bling on her finger made it all worthwhile. ;)
