They found love in a hopeless place! Dating apps can be wild but they are so thankful that they found each other! Maddie's previous roommate had forwarded Adriana's profile to her, they matched and started chatting, then went on their first date together!
They had been talking a few weeks before they decided it was time to meet in person. Adriana picked up Maddie and had flowers to give her (so romantic). They headed to Panera for some tasty dinner before going to see Frozen 2 in theater! (Between these, Maddie had a bout of anxiety - Adriana was so patient and caring, making sure M was okay before they went into the movies. (She is the best!) They finished out the night just watching Bob's Burgers and getting to know each other more!
They planned to celebrate their one-year anniversary with a trip to the Columbus Zoo, to walk through and see all the pretty Christmas lights! Adriana invited her sister, Kiley, along with plans for her to capture pics of Adriana proposing! They all walked through some of the displays, saw some cute animals, and froze their booty-s off! They made their way to the entrance of the polar bear exhibit and Maddie was filming some singing reindeer lights - they were singing Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You." Once the intro ended, Maddie turned around to make a joke to Adriana, but Maddie had to look DOWN to find Adriana on one knee with a beautiful ring! It was such a perfect moment, of course Maddie cried! Everyone around clapped and congratulated them, and they were on cloud nine for the rest of the night!
