It all started on June 14, 2022. Dan: "Well, we are looking to buy a house together, and I do plan to marry you." Chloe: "Aw, yeah sure, okay." - One day later while we are shopping in a plant nursery - Dan: "Here you go! This variegated plant can be used until we go buy an engagement ring." Chloe: "Oh! You were serious... then sure?!" Ok, so the proposal wasn't super glamorous, but it was still a surprise to Chloe! Then, in September 2022, Dan and Chloe went and bought an engagement ring. In October, the engagement ring was ready to be picked up. Dan and Chloe reserved a table at Mesob on October 12, where they told their parents (who also met for the first time that night - yay two surprises) the exciting announcement.
