We met at Holy Trinity Ukranian Catholic Church in Pittsburgh. After Divine Liturgy, we went to the church hall for lunch. Our friend introduced us. We instantly bonded over books and movies, especially Lord of The Rings. We started singing hobbit drinking songs in the middle of the church hall! We instantly clicked and our relationship began.

We went to church at Holy Tinity for Divine Liturgy. Usually there is food after Liturgy, but not this time. We ended up getting take out from Aladdins. He suggested that we go to the park where we had our first date. It was during a Steelers game, so no one was around. Little did I know, he had the ring in his pocket the entire time! As we were eating, he asked "Have you read the hobbit?" Since Rings of Power recently came out, I didnt think much of it. I replied, "Yes." He then asked, "Do you remember the riddle that Bilbo used to defeat Gollum?" Lord of the Rings fans will know that it a strange riddle. "You mean 'What's in my pocket?'" He got up and reached in his pocket. "So what do you think I have in my pocket? It may not be a ring of power, but it is a ring." He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. With tears in my eyes, I said "Yes!"
