We actually met on Bumble—but for the longest time, we told people we met at Cleveland State (it just sounded better!). Our first date was on a chilly January night in 2020 at Garden Brewery on W. 25th, and from that moment on, we never stopped talking. Then came COVID, and while we couldn’t see each other for a few months, that didn’t stop us—we FaceTimed all day, every day (seriously, we probably set a record!). Fast forward a bit, and on July 4, 2020, Edward made it official and asked me to be his girlfriend. Life kept getting better—fast forward to October 2024, when we moved in together, and just a few months later, we added our little fur baby, Lola, to the mix on June 18, 2024. Edward was sure we were getting a big dog… but I had other plans. Instead of a big pup, I surprised him with a 4-pound poodle, and let’s just say, she quickly stole both our hearts! Then, on August 24, 2024, Edward popped the question—and of course, I said yes! Now, here we are, counting down the days until we say "I do!" We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you!
