We saw something we liked, we swiped right and we both got lucky! We met on Tinder. He thought he was getting cat-fished and I thought he had great eyebrows. To my surprise after several messages, Dwight suggested we meet for a coffee. We met at The Bean in Union Square on January 7th 2015, on what felt like the coldest day of the year (it was 18 degrees that day). Two mint green teas later, we both knew we had found someone special.
It all started at 4:00am when Dwight woke me up and said "Pack your bags, we have to get on a plane." I excitedly followed his orders while asking the most important questions...Hot or cold? Dressy or Casual? Does anyone know where you're taking me? As we approached TSA to board our flight, he shared with me that we were heading to Las Vegas for a Parisian themed weekend to see Celine Dion in concert! It had been a life long dream of mine to see her in concert and Dwight had plans to make not one, but two of my dreams come true that night. After an incredible meal at the Eiffel Tower restaurant, we went to the top of the faux Eiffel Tower in honor of our upcoming trip to Paris. As the crowd cleared one side of the observatory, Dwight asked for the cigar box I had been holding onto for him. (Little did I know I was carrying around my own engagement ring because ring boxes are not made to fit in the pocket of slim fit trousers.) After handing off the cigar and looking out across Vegas, I thought to myself "He can't be smoking that up here?" I turned back around to find Dwight not smoking the cigar, but down on one knee. He spoke from his heart, I cried hysterically and with out hesitation I said YES! (We then ran to see Celine, celebrated with copious amounts of champagne and enjoyed every minute of her incredible show!)
