We both swiped right and the rest is history! We matched on Tinder in August of 2014 and began talking every day until we met in person on September 6th! We went on a double-date to Blarney's that evening and have been inseparable ever since! We made it official on October 12, 2014!
It was the evening of our 5th anniversary and we had dinner reservations at Merrill & Houston's in Beloit, WI. I didn't suspect a thing until we were getting ready to leave for dinner and Mark was stressing an unusual amount about what to wear! We had a great dinner and then Mark suggested we take a walk along the river after. It was a little chilly, but a nice night. We stopped near the bridge and he started telling me how much he loved me. He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! I couldn't even find the words to say yes; I just nodded my head and then eventually said yes! My sister and her boyfriend then came out from behind some bushes as Mark had recruited them to take pictures and videos! After the proposal, we went to Velvet Buffalo to celebrate and pop champagne!
