It all started like any classic romance - on a dating app. Emily was babysitting in downtown Chicago - swiping away. Justin was at home, blocks away at his lakeside apartment, making cod and asparagus - swiping over a hot stove. They linked up for a day date. Brunch, museums, walks along the beach, gelato, heartfelt conversations on a bench with a lakefront view...it all ended with a kiss at the train station.

Seven years later. After many vacations, many Mets games, a loving deaf dog, a move to Rhode Island, a house in Pawtucket... A beautiful day on the shores of Lake Como, Italy. After a drive up the hilly coastline and an unexpected hike, they once again sat on a bench with a beautiful view and discussed their love. Down on one knee, he took the ring from his pocket and asked her to pick a hand (though he had already picked hers), and of course she picked the right one.
