The story began with Christine swiping right on Bumble while mutually commuting through Penn Station actually in late 2016. Their first date was at the Shake Shack in Madison Square Park on a beautiful fall day where Christine got to pet a corgi. After a few dates they ended up going their separate ways. Later in the summer of 2017 they reconnected after both coincidentally moving to New Jersey. While living a train ride away their relationship continued to bloom. Their time spent together included traveling, going to sporting events, spending time with each others' families and of course enjoying many restaurants and cocktail bars in both Hoboken and Montclair. In 2019 they made plans to move in together in the following spring of 2020. Little did they know their timeline would be moved up a full 6 weeks in Dan's apartment due to COVID-19. In May 2020 they moved to their first official apartment together in Jersey City. After spending so much time together while quarantining and working from home in 2020 and 2021, it was a great test drive for the future. In Nashville on July 30, 2021 Dan popped the question and it was very easy for Christine to say yes. We cannot wait to celebrate with you in 2023!
