How we Met

New York

Camille We met at my sister's wedding in May 2019, but technically we met in person in New York in September 2019… Chris Oh, actually Ope sent me a video of the wedding reception and I noticed her dancing on the dancefloor. As per maid of honor, Lol Camille We exchanged numbers and he reached out to me about four days later. I didn't think much of it at the time as I was focused on passing my New York Bar exams in July, so we did not actually see for four months! Chris I think it was more like 3 days, but anyway I only took my time because I wanted her back in Philly before I started disturbing her Camille Lol, first I'm hearing of this. Anywayyy, in those four months, we spoke every single day and every conversation with him was easy. Talking to him felt natural, almost like I had known him my whole life. On July 31st, I finished my exams and checked into a hotel for my birthday. I walked into my hotel room and it was surprisingly filled with balloons, cake, cards and champagne with the cutest message from him, congratulating me. That's how he started professing his love for me ☺ Chris I meannnn, I had to make a decent impression you know. It worked out perfectly well! Camiile You tried sha. He then flew into New York the following month where we physically met for the first time, and after a full day of first date activities, he asked me to be his girlfriend. We spent the entire week together and the rest is history...

The Proposal

44th floor

Chris So it took me a couple of months to actually plan this proposal. I think because we had so many travel plans. Everyone, including her mom thought I was going to propose during our trip to Cabo for her birthday. Camille I genuinely, 100% thought he was going to propose in Cabo. Got my "engagement nails" done in advance and everything, lmao. Chris But of course that plan was too conventional for me, so I waited till a couple weeks after lol Camille Yeah I should have figured that it would have been too cliché for him Chris I had everything planned - rooftop location with sunset views, especially - a month prior with the help of some good friends. She thought we were going over to my boy, Josh's place, to pre-game Camille I mean I definitely thought it was weird that we were going to pre-game before date night/dinner but I didn't question it. Chris We rode the elevator all the way to the 44th floor. When we stepped into the penthouse, she started seeing balloons and petals on the floor. She was clearly confused but the started suspecting... Camille I had no clue what was going on at this point until I saw the "Marry me" marquee by the windows and turned around to see him on one knee (sweating profusely) Chris Hahaha, wow. Camille that almost ruined her makeup crying. Anyway, I nervously babbled through the speech I had planned, just trying to get to the "..spend the rest of your life with me" part AND SHE SAID YESSSS!

For all the days along the way
