We connected via the dating app, Tinder, and sent messages and then texted back and forth for a week or so before planning to meet for dinner one evening at Goodfella's pizza on Mass Ave. We sat in the speakeasy in the back of the restaurant and ended up chatting for about 3 hours!
Emily schemed with Brittany and Jimmy to plan the cutest proposal! They bought a onesie on Etsy and had it personalized to say "Will you marry Aunt Emily?" The five of us were planning to get together that day, Lexie thought, just to celebrate Thanksgiving. Emily suggested that we both dress up a bit, "just for fun" ;) After lunch, Brittany took Ruth upstairs to clean her up and change her into the onesie. Although we had certainly talked about the future, and wanting to get married, Lexie was still surprised when she saw what was on the shirt as Ruth came down the hall. When she turned around, Emily was down on one knee with a ringpop and asked Lexie to marry her. Lexie responded: "Sure! I mean, OF COURSE!"
