Geoffrey and Bev met May 2019 with a little help from a bumblebee, Bumble the dating app to be clear! Geoffrey asked for Bev’s number, but then quickly described his approach as “about as smooth as crunchy peanut butter.” On their first date Bev texted her coworker from the restroom, “ugh I love him” and then proceeded to call up a few friends to gush about how great the first date was. They were each other’s very best company. Beverly has such a spirit of excitement, adventure, and appreciation for life and Geoffrey knew from their first date that he wanted to be part of her’s. There was dating before quarantine: which involved weekend trips to Austin, exploring new restaurants, bars, and neighborhoods around Dallas. Then there was dating during quarantine, which included Geoffrey channeling his inner mixologist, long neighborhood walks, maximum time at home together, Beverly researching elaborate recipes, and lots of picnics in the park! Geoffrey was inspired by their new quarantine lifestyle and planned a gorgeous park picnic on a blue sky, 75-degree day where he popped the question! After a year like no other Beverly and Geoffrey knew unequivocally that they wanted to spend the rest of their years together!
