We matched on Tinder during the Minnesota state fair in 2018. We should have bumped into each other since Hannah was working payroll at the fair and Dirk was working on the Giant Ferris Wheel, but we were both so busy that we didn't begin our conversation until Dirk had already rolled the wheel down to Oklahoma City. For the next six weeks we texted and talked on the phone as much as possible, until Dirk was able to sneak away from work for a weekend to come back to Minnesota to meet the woman of his dreams in person. We had already realized that we didn't want to spend any more time apart and Dirk proposed, on Thomas Beach under the Minneapolis skyline, the same day he arrived.
