Dating apps can be really intimidating but at the end of the day a semi recent study conducted in 2017 discovered that 40% of couples meet through dating apps and the percentage has most likely gotten higher since. Two brave people, Kalen and Michelle, were willing to give this thing called "Online Dating" a try and while Kalen was at one of his best friend's wedding, he received a notification that would forever change his life. He connected with an incredibly gorgeous woman (this is Kalen writing, can you tell?) named Michelle on the "Coffee Meets Bagel" app. They were both looking for "their person". From the beginning Kalen did not hesitate to ask Michelle, "So, what are you looking for out of this?" "The real deal!" She quickly replied. They both knew there was a lot of potential. Both are more quiet individuals and over time opened up to each other, realizing the simple fact, they couldn't live without the other. Apart in their imperfection, together were made, "perfect". Early on in the relationship, Michelle found incredibly inexpensive tickets for a trip to Maui, that was about 9 months away at the time. Kalen already knew he wanted to marry Michelle AND knew he would be an idiot to not capitalize on the perfect opportunity that Michelle so graciously handed to him. Was this her plan all along? The world may never know. But if it was, gosh, golly, it worked! Kalen got down on one knee during a professional photo shoot he had planned, based upon a comment Michelle made (brownie points for listening, dude!) and thus began the epic journey of Kalen and Michelle.
