After many years of searching for each other, Coffee Meets Bagel finally connected us. Nancy drove up to San Francisco to join Elliot for a day of board games, boba, and Inside Out! Since Elliot didn't have access to his car for the first month, Nancy made the drive up every weekend. We didn't play any games. We knew who we were looking for, and we delighted in finding each other!

It was a beautiful April 1st. With a cover story of going on a double-date with friends, Elliot brought Nancy to the Cliff House. Claiming that we had an hour before our reservation, he took her across the street to Sutro Heights Park. While Nancy played Pokémon Go, Elliot took her up the steps of the stone parapet. After enjoying the ocean view, he nudged her around to look at the "campsite" that Elliot and his friends had set up earlier in the day. Ms. Hopps was there, along with her new special friend: Mr. Hopps. Elliot shared the theme verse that he selected for their upcoming marriage: Ephesians 4:2-4, and read it to her from the Bible. He got on one knee, read a short speech, and proposed. She said yes!
