We're Getting Married!

After matching on Bumble and texting for a few days, they agreed to meet up at a restaurant about a quarter mile from each of their houses. That is how close they lived from each other without realizing it. They sat at the bar. The music was loud and Emily's voice was low. Chris was only able to hear half of the conversation and smiled and nodded for the other half. It did not stop him from wanting to go on a second date and the rest is history.

January 2021 and Covid was still among us, and unfortunately still is. Chris wanted to do something special for Emily's birthday. He cooked an entire surprise menu for dinner and they had an amazing meal. For dessert, Chris asked Emily to go to the other room while he "plated" dessert. He got her, covered her eyes and walked her to the kitchen. When she opened her eyes, she saw a box on top of a cake stand and Chris on one knee. After the sweetest words and teary eyes, he asked and she said "yes"! To top the night off, there was lemon merengue pie.
