Once in a blue moon, the online dating gamble pays off! We met (shockingly!) on Bumble and quickly learned that we both share a sarcastic sense of humor and a love of FRIENDS Gifs :-) Although there wasn't love at first sight, and we are definitely opposite ends of the spectrum on a lot of things, persistence and keeping an open mind paid off so by the time we went on our third date, there was definite chemistry. Things progressed pretty quickly from that point on, and a few months later, here we are engaged!
Robbie was coming home to meet the family for Christmas 2019. We hadn't been dating that long so I truly wasn't expecting him to ask my mom for her blessing the day we landed (Christmas Eve) or to propose on Christmas Day, but he knew it would mean a lot for my family to be a part of this special day. After we were done opening presents, me still in pajamas with no makeup on, my mom went to the tree and said "What's this? We missed one!" and brought over the cutest ornament with a man proposing and "Robbie and Jenn 2019" written on it. When I looked up Robbie was down on one knee with the most gorgeous ring. I sorta blacked out at that point so I can't remember the exact words that he said but "Will you marry me?" was part of it and obviously I said yes!
