He swiped right. She swiped right. Such is love in the smartphone age. After a couple weeks of chatting, he asked her out for a real date. The plan of a single, mid-day drink at Chuy’s turned into several hours of laughing. He left thinking he absolutely nailed it. She left to go on another date… But, realizing the error of her ways, she came back for their second date later that evening. The rest is history.

She always told me that she would kill me if I proposed in public. Naturally that made it the most appealing option, but I chose to respect her wishes. She was coming back home from a business trip when she arrived at a completely dark house. She had absolutely no problem letting me know that she did not appreciate coming home to a dark house as she walked in the door. I had all the lights programmed to come on at once and surprised her with the proposal. She said “YES” and we were engaged.
