How We Met

We met through the dating app Hinge. When we first matched, I thought Joe's location, "Center City," was a newly branded neighborhood in Brooklyn. After I realized that he lived in Philadelphia, I wished him well and was ready to move on, but Joe wanted to keep talking. We did, and a few weeks later I boarded an Amtrak train at Penn Station to Philadelphia for our first official date. We have been inseparable ever since.

The Proposal

It was a cold, dark December day and we were both working from home. I asked Jackie to go for a walk along the Hudson River in the afternoon. She said yes, so we bundled and masked up and headed out. As we were walking along the Hudson River, I started talking about how my parents had gotten engaged on a similarly chilly day. When we arrived at Pier 45, the sun was setting in the distance and the sky was alive with color. I told her about all the times that I knew she was the one, and got down on one knee and asked her to marry me. She cried and then said yes! We took maskless selfies to commemorate, called our families and then had dinner outdoors at our favorite restaurant, Pastis. All in all, a perfect night!
