We met on a dating app and realized both of us studied English at Valparaiso University. Despite working at the Writing Center together and even sharing a class, we only met in passing. Our first date was at Blockhead Beerworks in Valpo.
We went to Oselka Park in New Buffalo, MI to recreate one of our first dates. Climbing to the top of a hill and sitting in the grass, we read some poetry to each other like we did two years prior. After sharing some sweet words, Jackson got on one knee and proposed.
