We're getting married!

We both swiped right on Tinder! However, we had one unofficial meeting at the Crossfit Chicago Holiday party, because I came across Gene’s profile the day of the party so I held off on swiping right until after the party…just in case he was there. I didn’t want things to be awkward. Haha! Our first date was on January 19, 2014 at Wilde Restaurant in Lakeview for brunch. Since we were enjoying each other’s company so much, we went to the brewery across the street for a drink afterwards, then to GSP to watch some football, then to another bar to meet some friends, then to Redmond’s, then to Old Crow in Wrigley, and then he walked me back to my place. It was an epic first date and as they say…the rest is history!

Gene and I were on a vacation with a group of friends to Oktoberfest, Switzerland and France. We traveled to some of the most beautiful places and even went to the top of a mountain in Switzerland. However, Gene waited to the last day of our trip together when we went to Paris for 24 hours before our flight. He finally asked me first thing in the morning in the heart of Paris. Of course I said “Yes”. We’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you.
