We met online! After matching on not one, but two dating apps, he messaged me first - ON BOTH! I was honestly ready to give up online dating for a while; it wasn't going anywhere, and i figured I had way better things to do with my precious time. After ignoring his messages for two weeks (hey, i was at camp without cell reception for one of the weeks!), I finally responded.

We planned our first date, and wouldn't you know, I chose the day before to accidentally DROP MY PHONE IN THE TOILET. Yep. So from fairly constant texting back and forth to.......... radio silence. Once I re-activated my trusty old phone, we met at Buffalo Wild Wings, where the lovely waitress had to come back three times before we even took a break from talking to look at the menu.

We took a trip to Chicago to visit my best friend for a weekend vacation. Little did either of us know, he was planning to propose! We took a walk around the city and some of the beautiful parks, and when i asked my friend to take a picture of us together, he asked me to marry him. I said, "Duh!"
