Jesse's proposal

How We Met

"When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." -When Harry Met Sally

Like many modern couples, we met through a dating app. Kelly had only been on it for a week; Jesse was about to give up and delete his. When he spontaneously asked her out and she spontaneously said yes, each experienced a moment of panic. Kelly in particular was nervous about explaining her deafness on a first date. Luckily Jesse had done some pre-date Googling and discovered an article titled "What Not to Say to a Deaf Person"... written by Kelly herself. Jesse's research paid off, as they spent hours talking and laughing and bonding over pop culture references. The way Jesse tells it: "I kissed her with the fire of a thousand suns and she immediately fell in love with me." To be taken with a grain of salt.

The Proposal

06/01/2019

Jesse knew he needed to come up with a unique proposal that Kelly wouldn't be able to turn down. One day they were watching an episode of "Better Things," in which the characters performed a choreographed dance as a gift for someone. After the episode was over, Kelly turned to Jesse and said, "A choreographed dance is the greatest gift you could ever give someone." He made a note. Fast forward to June 2019: Jesse got Kelly into the car under false pretenses, blindfolded her, and completely surprised her with—well, you can see for yourself in the video above.
