Our Story

Summer 2023

Well... it all started with a "Like" on Hinge. He replied to my comment of wanting to build Lego Flowers together. He then asked for my number and we texted for about a month getting to know each other before we met. We had our first date scheduled for the end of July of 2023. I was so nervous that I made up an excuse to reschedule. We had our first date on August 1, 2023 at Dave & Busters. We went to trivia night in hopes that we would walk away with the grand prize. Side note: we cheated the entire time googling all the answers. Yet we still lost. We ended the night telling each other that we both had a blast and would like to go on a second date. In between that, Ethan sat for his boards. Our second date was at Top Golf (he just hadddd to show off his golf skills). We sat in his car and had a sing a long to High School Musical and Bad Bunny. A week later he met all of my friends at a Giants game and then met my family at my favorite place (LBI). Fast forward to May 2024, he proposed at The Frelinghuysen Arboretum. Then he planned an engagement party with all our family. Here we are now planning our wedding. The rest will be history!
