Like many couples these days, we first met online. After a few messages back and forth we finally decided to meet in person and scheduled a coffee date in Minneapolis. I was pretty nervous and remember arriving early so I could order my own coffee before Tobin arrived. Once he got there we talked easily about traveling, Game of Thrones, sports, and our previous experiences with online dating. Conversation was easy and a couple days later we were scheduling a second date.

We were on a trip to Europe and had just gotten to Brussels, Belgium. After a long day of traveling we settled in and started to explore the city. Making our way through the winding streets, we filled-up on frites, waffles, and beers before heading back to our corner of the city. Our little apartment had a nice balcony that we used for people watching along the streets that night. Tobin started talking about how great the trip had been so far and how much he loved me, when all of sudden he was on his knee! I had a brief moment of shock and surprise, but managed to get out a "yes" quickly. We even had a few audience members from a bar across the street who caught a glimpse of the moment and gave a round of applause. It was the best moment of our trip!
