We met on Bumble, so Emily messaged first! Our first date was to Phipps Conservatory in October 2017. There were lots of laughs there and at Butterjoint, where we had a meal and split dessert. It was a slow start and took a few months for us to go on another date. It wasn't long after that until we were dating regularly! We became an "official couple" on March 31, 2018.
Bobby proposed on Christmas Eve 2020. He tricked Emily by making sure to have a conversation that maybe we will get engaged in the spring time. We have a Christmas tradition of opening our gifts with each other before leaving to celebrate with Bobby's family and he said that there was one more gift waiting at his parent's house. When the time came, he brought out an enormous box and announced that Emily was opening a gift from him. Christine started filming, so Emily suspected what was about to happen. When Emily unwrapped the box, it was filled with fresh flowers with a tiny box at the very bottom. She looked up and Bobby was holding the ring and asked the big question. Of course Emily couldn't say YES fast enough!
