I was visiting my friend Sarah in Hoboken and meeting Sarah's new boyfriend for the first time (her now husband, Josh). Josh mentioned his friend, Brian, was meeting us out after his shift ended in Jersey City. We played Cards Against Humanity and Brian was instantly attracted to my sense of humor :) I was living in Boston at the time (and dating someone else). Brian predicted we would break up (which we did) and told Sarah to let him know when I was coming back to Jersey. 6 months later I moved back to Jersey and we went on our first date on Brian's birthday!
We were going away for the weekend to celebrate our 3 year anniversary. Brian suggested we take a walk with Finn at the beach first. I was running late getting ready, not realizing we were on a strict timeline. We drove over to Pier Village, where we first moved in together, and started walking on the beach. I was walking ahead and Finn went running by me with a bandana on that said "will you marry my dad?" When I turned around Brian was down on one knee. Brian had planned a whole weekend in Mohonk, New York, so we headed that way to celebrate after taking photos on the beach. In typical 2020 fashion, Brian had been planning on proposing in October, but I got covid several days before the planned date.
