After matching on tinder, in true Lea fashion, she didn't take the time to meet Wayne until a couple weeks after matching. When we finally met, our first date was at Riverwalk in Tin City for dinner, which continued to a movie. Even though Wayne wasn't sure about the feisty red head, he asked for a second date the next night. Wayne asked Lea to be official a few weeks later while taking an evening walk around 5th Avenue. It was only a few months after becoming official that they moved in together and shortly after getting their first cat. 2 cats and a dog later, poor Wayne had quite the challenge with the proposal. He was going to propose at a Luke Combs concert they were scheduled to attend but with COVID, of course concerts got cancelled. Plan B was a scheduled trip to Michigan to spend thanksgiving with the family, but with Michigan shutting back down a week prior to them flying out, that also got cancelled. Thanks to good friends, Wayne was able to replan in a week a sunset proposal on the Marco Island Princess with a few close friends and some of his family.
