Their story began with a dinner date in East Village, arranged through an undisclosed dating app. John's choice to show up in a full suit initially sparked some uncertainty, with Kerstin wondering if he might be the stereotypical finance bro. During their dinner, Kerstin had mentioned that she enjoyed beer pong during her college years and to be good at it, prompting an impromptu trip to Ktown to test her skills. The evening took a humorous twist when John completely outplayed her at beer pong, turning what could have been a typical date into a memorable and laughter-filled evening. This playful challenge marked the beginning of a connection that would grow into something beautiful.
John planned a brunch with a friend in Brooklyn, and to get to the restaurant, he took Kerstin on a stroll to the Brooklyn Bridge. Aware of Kerstin's fondness for the NYC skyline, he chose this spot with breathtaking views to ask the significant question. As he dropped to one knee, he seriously addressed Kerstin by her full legal name, Thu Phuong Kerstin Le, evoking laughter in the midst of this heartfelt moment. The day was filled with surprises, with another one at the end when John revealed a surprise engagement party waiting for Kerstin, attended by all of our good friends. The day was a beautiful blend of heartfelt moments and shared joy, marking the beginning of our next chapter together.
