How it all started!

Love at first swipe...

The odds of finding real love during a global wide pandemic seemed intimidating and almost impossible. In a world of virtual everything, Mackenzie and John-Joseph met after matching on Tinder. After many texts and snapchats later, John-Joseph asked Mackenzie out on a date. The two would meet up at Punch Bowl Social for a drink. Nervous to meet a guy off the internet, Mackenzie was stressing in her car on the way there. The "what ifs" were swarming her brain. Starting to think that "ghosting" this date altogether would be the best idea, Mackenzie gets a message from John-Joseph that he his here. “Its too late”she thought. “I have to go through with this”. Little did she know it'd be the best decision of her life. Walking up to meet each other for the first time in person, the two would later admit they both thought it was love at first sight. Mackenzie and John-Joseph awkwardly take their seat, and each order a cocktail. Quickly, the conversation begins to flow, as if they've known each other forever. In the blink of an eye, 3 hours had passed and they'd been so busy chatting that they have both barley finished their first drinks. It was 3 days later after hanging out a few more times that the two made things official. And another 5 days later that they said "I love you".

Popping the question!

October 20th 2022

Fast forward 2 years, and the couple are as happy as ever. Making a home together with their dog, Khali, in their new apartment in Lone Tree. Mackenzie and John-Joseph plan a fun getaway to Seattle. To Mackenzie, this is just another fun vacation, exploring a new city with her boyfriend. However, John-Joseph has a little something else up his sleeve that will make this a trip to remember! On day 2 of their trip, the couple is busy gallavanting around the city! John-Joseph lets Mackenzie know he has planned a special date for that night, so they go back to the hotel to get changed, and head out on their date. Their Uber drops them off in a park near the water, and John-Joseph makes Mackenzie close her eyes. (she's suspicious now). They walk a few feet and he has her open her eyes. To her surprise, she see John-Joseph down on his knee, holding a diamond ring, saying "Will you marry me?". Without a doubt, she said "YES!" Behind him there is a beautiful picnic set up as well as a photographer to capture the moment. He thought of it all, creating a magical moment they both will never forget.
