“On that lazy Sunday, as I swiped through potential dates, I noticed a handsome man with the greatest smile and cutest dog. He had me from that point.” — Emily Alan and Emily matched with each other on a dating app after her friends convinced her it was about time to get out there. Emily noticed Alan right off the bat because of his amazing smile, but also because he had strategically used a profile picture which also included his family’s golden retriever. And if you know Emily, she is a sucker for a cute dog, so she was hooked from the start. After matching, that day Emily and Alan got to know each other through multiple texts and decided they had a lot in common and needed to meet. After their initial meeting and multiple dates, which included Alan sharing his love for flying by taking Emily on multiple flights to see Texas from above, they started officially dating…AND THE REST IS HISTORY.

“After proposing to Emily, she asked me when I knew she was the one and even though she thought I was joking…I knew from the beginning.” — Alan After almost four years of dating and sharing each other’s lives together, Alan figured it was time to lock this down and make it official. With the disguise of getting away for Emily’s birthday celebration, Alan planned a trip to one of their favorite getaways…Las Vegas. On the first night, Alan couldn’t wait any longer, so on the way to dinner, Alan and Emily stopped at the Fountains at Bellagio to watch the show. At the end of the show, Alan surprised Emily by getting down on one knee and popping the question. Of course, she said YES! They have been best friends, true loves, and partners in life throughout their entire relationship and are finally ready to make it official and spend the rest of their lives together.
