John and I met how most couples meet now a days through a dating app. It was the beginning of 2020 and we both swiped on each other on bumble! We spent the next couple months texting every day and just getting to know each other thanks to covid. On May 30 2020 we FINALLY met for the first time in person. We spent 7 hours together that day just walking at Presque Isle talking. I knew I had met my person but there was only one problem... Kallie (my dog) needed to approve. A few days later I introduced John to Kallie and let's just say I am pretty sure Kallie loves him more than me... We spent the next two years meeting each other's family and friends which was difficult during covid. My family and friends have come to love John and always tell me how lucky I am to have such a gentleman. After getting to know John's family and friends I can honestly say I am so lucky with how welcoming and loving they have all been towards me they truly have become my family and friends. FINALLY on August 28th 2022 John asked me to marry him and of course I said YES! We have grown so much together as a couple, and we can't wait to see what the future holds. But most importantly we can't wait to marry each other surrounded by all our amazing family and friends.
