We’re getting married!

We met in the most convenient, but unconventional way — online. Our very first conversations I remember him saying, “I have some wine, do you want to come over and have some wine with me?” And I remember responding, “Sure! Of course I would love to meet you at 4am and have wine with a potential psychopath serial kidnapper and killer I just started talking to.” A few more weeks later we planned our “first date” which happened on May 3rd of 2018. I asked him to meet in the DUMBO area not only because it’s beautiful at night, but because of the fact that there are always tons of people around to witness everything just in case he actually ended up being a psycho serial killer. All jokes aside it was a pleasurable date that included eating and rating ramen, sipping a few drinks at a local bar, and tipsy-exploring the area at night with the view of the city lights. We sat [probably dangerously] close to the water and he looked at me and asked me if I could be his girlfriend and I could not hold back the amount of happiness I felt and said “of course!” Fast forward to four years filled with countless adventures and milestones, two apartment moves, one sassy cat, a hyperactive dog, and possibly an unhealthy amount of plants later we got engaged in the comfort of each other’s company at home (aka. my dream proposal because it felt like a cheesy scene from a rom-com).
