Her Story: "I've never dated anyone outside of my circle of friends, let alone someone I met online on a whim. When we first started talking, I was on the mend & had no intentions of being in a relationship. Charlie was insistent on taking me to a movie, & I nervously agreed. On the day of the date, I gave him a made up address that would still bring him on the street so I could see him first. He walked house to house looking around & I vividly remember texting Bernadette freaking out & looking out my front window. She convinced me that I would never know until I tried, so I walk out. Charlie reached his hand out as though he wanted a handshake but really was leaning in for a hug, so I gave him both and we laughed our way to the car. We were shaking from being nervous on the way to the movies. After the movie, we got frozen yogurt & were able to get to know each other a bit more. His phone kept ringing and it was his mom calling. He took me home, rushed home to care for his mom. But he couldn't leave before he kissed me good night. After that we talked all day & night since we were busy with work until he surprised me the following week with flowers... & the rest was history!" His Story: "On our first date Kesha gave me the wrong address on purpose to be able to see me from her large living room window. I was initially confused and mad thinking this online date was probably a joke & some fraternity guys were in their dorms laughing about sending me to a random address. But thankfully, Kesha saw me and decided she wanted to meet me. She came outside to meet me & we shared a very awkward handshake/hug. I was nervous but happy to be with her. She looked so beautiful & after we went to a movie & got some frozen yogurt she had to practically interview me because I was so nervous I didn’t know what to say because I didn’t want to mess this up. Kesha, thank you so much for leading our date & making me feel comfortable. Love you forever & I can’t wait to marry you."

"I’ve known I wanted to marry Kesha since our first year of dating. Over the years she has been my support system & someone I can go to for answers. Leading up to our 2018 trip I was preparing to ask her the BIG question & having bought the engagement ring on Labor Day while we're with her family made me a nervous wreck. I purchased the ring so fast that after I bought it I ran over to the Sketchers store to get a pair of socks so I could hide the Zales bag. Fast forward to our Disney trip, I still a nervous wreck throughout the 3 days & was just hoping no security guards would make it obvious that I had something hiding in a lower back pocket in my backpack. On the third day, going into Magic Kingdom - Kesha wasn’t feeling well & we were both exhausted from the heat but I knew this was the place I was going propose to her. I dragged her to the center Magic Kingdom to “take a picture” but when were about to take a picture; a Disney parade began. To keep Kesha occupied I went along with the parade & started dancing like a fool to get her to think about something other than the heat. But Kesha couldn’t understand why we had to stay & watch the parade when it was so hot out. A few minutes later the parade is over & we got back in line to take a picture in front of the castle & I still had my backpack on me, I told the photographer what I was doing as I placed the backpack on the ground & grabbed the ring from the back pocket. Kesha wasn’t paying attention as I started to read from a note she had written me in the early years of us dating. I don’t even remember the words I was saying as I was saying them but I just remember asking her if I could be her Prince forever & looking up to see her crying happy tears & getting down on one knee to ask her to marry me. This only the second time I have surprised her in the five years we’ve been together."

"I've been dropping hints of wanting him to ask me for months. When we were getting ready to leave for the trip - I knew that it was going to be a special one. My whole life I've wanted to go to Disney, and throughout the planning process he made sure that I got everything I wanted, during the trip it was all about me. He kept telling me how much he loved me and how happy he is watching me smile. As the trip was slowly coming to an end, I thought he wasn't going to ask and felt myself getting a bit let down. He then tells me we have to go take a picture in front of the castle. We get there and he wants me to stand in the center of the garden where the sun was beaming. I wanted to stand in the shade to watch the parade and he was adamant staying there. After the parade, we waited to take the photo and he told me to look at something on the castle, as I turned around his face was beat red as he slowly got down on one knee - I'm pretty sure I said "no" at first from being in shock. I cried so much, and proceeded to cry about the uglying crying photos we had taken of the moment."
