While it wasn’t your traditional “meet cute” of bumping into each other in a hallway or sitting next to each other in a particular sociology class at Florida State University (go Noles!), our chance encounter in the fall of 2016 changed our lives forever. “Hey Clancy, I like your style.” What started with a swipe right and a cheesy pick up line on Tinder, soon turned into a 6-hour first date at Lake Ella.
After 6 years of spending the holidays apart, in 2022, we finally spent our first Christmas together. Coincidentally, it was also our last as boyfriend and girlfriend. In the early hours of Christmas Day, a certain question was “popped” and so began a beautiful engagement.
