Who doesn't meet on a dating app now-a-days? Hip with the times (or gently forced by friends in Monica's case), we found each other on Bumble. Chatting with each other via text was comfortable from the start. When we finally met for drinks we easily fell into conversation about art, painting, and travel despite our nerves. We both remember being all smiles for the entire date and we haven't stopped smiling since.

It was a cold day in January. I had been thinking about how to propose to Monica for a while but the idea of a dramatic proposal at the top of a mountain in the warm summer was just too far away, I couldn't wait that long. I asked her to marry me as soon as she came home from work that evening and she said “yes!”
