We met on Tinder and clicked really well from the start! We spent two weeks talking over texting and phone calls because Haylie had mono, yet through all those countless hours spent talking we discovered just how much we had in common. After going on a few dates, we discovered just how special our relationship already had become, and knew instantly that this was a dream come true in the making.
Almost two years to the exact day of when we had first met, I had every little detail planned perfectly. I took Haylie to the locations of where we had our third and second dates before finally taking her to where our very first date was, the Chattanooga Zoo. As we walked through all of the exhibits, I periodically handed her sweet love notes as we reminisced on some of our best memories in our relationship to that point and looked forward on what the future had in store. Admittingly, I was nervous as hell but more excited than I had ever been knowing I was about to ask my best friend to marry me! I took her to the giraffe exhibit last because they were her favorites. Once there, I handed her the last love note which said "Marry Me", got down on one knee, and asked the most important question of my life. Obviously, she said "Yes!" and the rest has been amazing. We cannot wait to start our new adventure together!
