On June 15th, we swiped right and matched on Tinder! We bonded over our love for music and movies. And after weeks of texting we had our first date on July 11th! We kept it local and hung out in downtown Long Beach. We went to an Irish pub and saw a pirate band! So random. Then walked around shore line and ended up sitting by the lighthouse and talking. Our first year was full of fun dates and after 15 months we moved in together! On January 18th, 2020 Brian took me to the shoreline lighthouse and asked me to marry him! I said yes, and surprisingly held it together and didn't cry. When we got back to the car, Brian gave me a hand written letter that had me immediately bawling. The best tears of joy I've ever experienced. We've come a long way as individuals and a couple and are so excited and ready for this next step and journey.
