How We Met / First Date

No More Fish in the Sea

Through the best of online dating, we met on Plenty of Fish! After weeks of talking via text and on the phone, we finally coordinated our first date to Sidecar in Center City Philadelphia! Our night was spent getting to know each other over some Ballast Point Brewery beer and burgers. We both knew that the first date was the start of something special... and almost 3 years, countless adventures to include a move and buying house later, here we are!

The Proposal

28 July 2019: Low Tide, High Spirits

After I didn't want to go kayaking on Saturday, Tim finally talked me into going on Sunday morning. We drove five minutes down the road to Hammocks Beach State Park and rented kayaks to Bear Island. Since it was low tide, our mile and a half kayak turned into a lot of work and a lot of getting stuck in sandbars. Eventually, we made it and basically had the beach to ourselves. After relaxing on the beach and swimming in the ocean our time was almost up and we needed to be heading back to the kayak launch. Tim insisted on 'collecting some seashells and checking out that gazebo over there to take some pictures'. He conveniently put on his shirt because he 'felt like he was burning' and away we went on our little walk. oops, he forgot his phone! We found a cute little spot and he set up the tripod, and then got on one knee and surprised the heck out of me! Best part: he got it all on video!
