How We Met: During our virtual 2020 summer Humana internship, Charlie made the first move by messaging Charles during a work meeting. We instantly hit it off and continued to talk throughout the summer. Charlie traveled to see Charles a couple times in Lincoln where we went on our first date at Green Gateau! Charles asked Charlie to be his girlfriend around mid-August 2020, once Charlie moved back to Lincoln for school. We don't remember the exact date, so we select the best day of the month to celebrate. :) After graduation in May 2021, Charles moved to Chicago. Due to another virtual internship, Charlie joined him for the summer to see if she would enjoy the city. She was skeptical at first, but ended up having a great time and got a job offer to be able to join him in January 2022! We have lived in Chicago for over three years and love it. We have a great group of friends, enjoy traveling, and not having a car! We love showing people the city when they come visit (but plan far in advance as Charlie likes to overbook our calendars...). The Proposal: Charles proposed at 6:30 a.m. in front of St. Clement in Chicago on April 7, 2024 (we will remember this day forever). This is the church we attend each Sunday. That morning we were flying to Lincoln, NE to spend time with Charlie's family for the week. Charles invited his parents to meet us in Lincoln to have a little surprise engagement party. It was perfect and everything was very well planned out. Charlie was completely surprised!
