While on the dating app, Hinge, Jonathan noticed a cute girl named Denise. Although many other girls had caught his eye before, he was especially struck by one particular picture in which Denise was eating a macaroni and cheese covered pizza. "This girl is different," he thought to himself. Denise, on the other hand, enjoyed learning from his profile that his best costume ever was when he dressed up as Lil' Jon and yelled "Okay!" everywhere he went. She figured that this guy MUST be a catch. Jonathan squeezed in their first date at a lounge before DJing a gig in San Francisco. He pitched to Denise: "If you don't like me, it'll only be 2 hours and then you'll never have to see me again!" She was into this suggestion. They talked about their favorite movies, songs and the conversation was never stale. For their second date, Jonathan impressed Denise with a romantic ice skating adventure in Union Square. There, Jonathan capitalized on her poor skating skills and took every opportunity to put his arms around her to "protect her from falling." As sparks flew, it wasn't long before they were head over skates in love with each other.

On a recent trip to Kona, Jonathan decided to take advantage of the beautiful scenery and propose to Denise. He planned a sunset proposal on Makalawena beach—but things did not go as he had hoped. The weather was overcast so there would be no sunset. They also got lost and ended up at a different beach. Undeterred, Jonathan found a secluded area away from the crowds and asked Denise to take a panoramic photo by the water. While she was turned around, Jonathan got on one knee and was ready to surprise her with the ring. She was so focused on taking the picture that it took a gentle tap on the shoulder for her to turn around and notice the engagement ring he held in his hands. Hugs, tears, and a big OF COURSE later, Jonathan and Denise were engaged!
