Adam and Loretta met in January of 2017 for the first time at the Bavarian. The random conversations turned into discussing why they had never matched on Tinder (yes, Tinder). Loretta asked Adam how old he was and when he said 30 she responded with, "Oh, I don't have my age settings that high!" Days later...as fate would have it, they matched on Tinder (after Loretta decided to change her age settings the night they met) and the rest after that is pretty much history.
Adam asked permission from Loretta's family (which is a story for another time) and started his hunt for the ring. While packing for a weekend trip to Clear Water Beach, where Adam was planning to purpose, he hid the ring inside a pair of polka dot socks packed in their luggage. The 40lb luggage limit was a setback while packing and Loretta decided to remove "unneeded items"...aka the polka dot socks. Before she could get her hands on them, Adam was lunging at the suitcase demanding he pack his socks and well... this may have turned into a small fight. Fast Foward through the packing...and onto March 17, 2018. Adam unpacked the ring from his polka dot socks at the hotel and they headed to dinner that evening. On the walk there, they decided to sit and watch the sunset on the beach. It was there on that sand dune, where Adam told Loretta she had missed one page in the scrapbook she had made for their one year anniversary. Confused, she looked at him as he handed her a pack of scrapbook stickers. Looking down at them, they included cakes, champagne, rings and a headline that read "Engaged!". Adam got on one knee and popped the question. It was perfect.
