The First Date

October 10, 2016

It was Drew’s sophomore year at Western and Abby was but a few weeks into her freshman year. After both swiping right on Tinder (so romantic!), the two met up at Boulevard Park nestled along Bellingham Bay. Over a cup of coffee, they chatted the hours away. And when the perfect moment presented itself, Drew went in for their first kiss. But with a *plop* a giant bird dropping landed on him, halting the kiss before it began. Over the next 5 years, Abby gave Drew many chances to get some good kisses in, yet he never lost the name “bird poop guy”.

The Proposal

December 29, 2021

About a year into dating, Abby told Drew, when she was younger she had dreamed of her first kiss being on the gondolas over Spokane Falls. As that first kiss had come and gone before the era of Drew, he wasn’t able to make that happen. Fast forward 4 years, the two are waiting to meet some friends for ice skating in Riverfront Park. To escape the cold (9 degrees, to be exact), Drew suggests riding the gondolas. Right above the Spokane Falls he gets on one knee and pops the question. And of course Abby accepted!
