We met the old fashioned way- on a dating app. Wading through the treacherous waters of the online dating world we connected. We decided to keep things very classy and had our first date at a dimly lit bar, where we could drink and play trivia (just in case the conversation lulled). Matt decided we should be named "You're A Quizard Harry" and I could tell he was a man of quality. We spent the rest of the evening playing video games at an arcade next door. Where I destroyed Matt in pinball and he whooped me at "Sink It". It was a wonderfully nerdy evening and a true testament to what our relationship would continue to be.... Dorky!
We got engaged on April 2nd 2019 at Disneyland California. Matt had promised me from the very beginning of our relationship that someday he would take me on my first trip ever to Disneyland. If anyone knows anything about me its that I am obsessed with all things Disney so this was a dream come true. On our second day in the park Matt talked me into going on Splash Mountain. It was 10 am and not very warm but he was determined so I reluctantly agreed. Knowing full well we were going to have wet socks and jeans for the rest of the day. For myself the ride passed along without incident. What I didn't know was that behind me Matthew had managed to alert our boat mates of his intentions, hold up a proposal sign, and avoid me seeing anything (even though I had turned to talk to him several times). I had no idea what was going on until we reached the photos at the bottom. Where I finally caught a glimpse of the blurry picture and turned to find him on one knee soaking wet behind me. My answer should be obvious!
