We technically first "met" on April 8th, 2013, thanks to OK Cupid. After exchanging messages for almost a month-covering everything from our favorite Parks and Rec characters, to the best DC neighborhood, to our shared love of cooking, we finally went on our first date on May 6th at The Passenger in DC. Over several cocktails a spark grew. Five years later, we're still cooking up a storm and that spark's still there.

The plan for the day was an afternoon Nationals game. Little did I know Greg had more up his sleeve. After breakfast at my favorite pancake place, we took a leisurely walk through our neighborhood. As we got near the water, Greg pulled me into a more secluded area of the park, got down on one knee and popped the question. I shouted "Oh My God. Oh My God. Yes." and we were engaged. Greg loves that I just kept saying "What's happening?! What's happening?!" Luckily I knew what was happening and we spent the rest of the day celebrating it with champagne toasts and and too many courses at Komi.
