Love Found in Lockdown

Brad and Jenna met like many couples do these days, and matched on a dating app. It was March 2020 and the whole world had shut down, so there was plenty of time to devote to online dating. Jenna and Brad spent a little over a month getting to know each other solely through text, and each looked forward to messaging every day. It didn't take long for Brad and Jenna to realize that they had a lot in common - including their love of ice cream, sports, and even living in the same apartment complex. One evening in early May, some of Jenna's friends were hosting a Zoom party and Jenna (after a few beverages) decided to invite Brad to join. Brad ended up hopping on Zoom and really impressed Jenna's friends (one of them being her sister). After that, Jenna invited Brad to join her for one of her favorite pastimes, going for a walk. Options for dates were limited at the time with most places still closed. Finally, they were going to meet in person! They had a great time walking and talking and only ended the date because it started raining. Since that first walk, their love for each other has grown stronger each and every day. They never cease to amaze one another and cannot wait to start this next chapter in their lives!

The Proposal

11/12/2021

Jenna had just gotten back from a short trip with friends and family so Brad suggested going to one of their favorite spots for a happy hour date after work. Once in the car, Brad started playing their favorite song and began driving the wrong way. Jenna questioned where they were going and Brad said he was going to surprise her with trying somewhere new. Brad took Jenna to their favorite walking path by the Scioto River and popped the question. This was the easiest question Jenna ever had to answer and did so with an immediate "Yes!" Brad hired a professional photographer and the two were really able to soak in the moment by capturing some photos. Afterwards Brad took Jenna back to their apartment where both of their families were waiting to celebrate with them. Surrounded by loved ones, it was truly a perfect evening that they will remember forever.
