All Because Two People Swiped Right

It started with two people that swiped right on the online dating app, Hinge. The awkward conversation starters about our favorite colors, ice cream flavors, and foods. Something about the way Justin wore his jacket around his neck in his profile picture would make Kristen agree to meet him for a coffee at Starbucks. December 10th, 2023 was a cold morning, but it didn't matter. We sat outside, to have a bit more privacy for our first date. Kristen was already sick and losing her voice with her 2 different hot beverages, but the time passed by so quickly. As we started to learn about each other for almost 2 hours. Kristen knew, in the middle of a Mexican restaurant, on their second date - "This is the man I want to love for the rest of my life." Fast forward to our first New Years kiss over a game of Bananagrams, Justin bringing Raegan (Kristen's Daughter) a slushy when she was sick, Valentines in Atlanta, Kristen saying the first "I love you". To the very exciting moment of Justin standing on one knee in Hilton Head Island with a ring and Kristen agreeing to marry "the guy with the jacket tied around his neck".

The Proposal

07.15.2023

Kristen was on Hilton Head Island for a girls trip. She had suspicions that Justin might propose because the beach is her favorite place. Yet the last night at the beach, Justin face-timed Kristen. He was at a BBQ at his moms house. Kristen decided he wasn't going to propose that weekend after seeing he was still in Aiken. She went to dinner with her best friend, Autumn. It started to storm while they were at dinner. Meanwhile, Justin had a beautiful set up on the beach. lol He had to create a plan B due to the storm. He went to set up on the condo balcony, soaking wet. Praise the lord for keypad door locks, he was able to get in the condo, while the girls where still at dinner. Autumn told Kristen to check the balcony to make sure none of their stuff blew off from the storm after dinner. When she opened the balcony door there was Justin. Kristen was over the moon with excitement to have Justin ask on one knee would she marry him.
