Our story begins in September 2019 when Bruce came to tour the Ryan Homes model where I was selling new construction homes. He was so impressed that I matched the model home with my navy blue dress and white jacket that he showed up again a week later to ask me on a date! He gives credit to Erica and Gina for making me a Match profile which is how he knew I was single and looking to date after we first met. Since Bruce is a Tampa native, he smartly played off the fact that I was still new to Florida. When he came back to the model, he talked about all different restaurants he loved and offered to be my tour guide. About 1.5 years later, we went on a vacation with our friends, Lindsey and Devin, to their cabin outside of Pittsburgh, PA. After I proved that I am athletic and picked up snowboarding pretty quickly, he was ready to propose. Our bedroom was off a back deck with a gorgeous view that overlooked the Allegheny River. He had written in the snow, Will you Marry Me with a heart, knowing that the symbol of a heart had become special to me in the last few years. I stepped over the writing since I was in my socks and didn’t even see the message! When I turned around, he pointed down and by the time I looked up, he was on one knee. XOXO
