We’re getting married!

Tim and Katrina were both on the online dating scene at the same time. They each took a chance and signed up for the premium version of match.com. Katrina was at the end of her initial trial period when she came across Tim’s profile. The first thing she noticed was that he looked different in every picture! She was intrigued by his description and just had to learn more about this handsome stud, so she took a leap of faith and sent a message as a hopeful but last chance with the online dating scene. Tim just happened to be checking his email one day and noticed that he had a notification from match.com about a new message. It had been a while since he had logged on and figured that one look at his inbox wouldn’t hurt. He found Katrina very attractive by her pictures and was interested in her profile description. The pair soon hit it off and exchanged numbers. After about 1 month of back and forth messaging, Tim and Katrina found the time in their busy schedules (with him working crazy hours due to it being mid prom season and with her currently working 3rd shift hours) to meet. Being the gentleman that he is, Tim let Katrina pick where they would have dinner. She chose Agave Mexican Bistro in Newburyport since she is absolutely OBSESSED with the food there. They first introduced themselves to each other in the municipal lot in the center of downtown Newburyport, and the rest is history!

It was just like any other day in the beginning of the fall. Katrina and Tim both had the day off. Katrina had been asking Tim for a couple of weeks to go apple picking, and he picked a day and said he would treat her to lunch! They stopped over at Poor Boy’s Diner in Londonderry, one of their local favorites. Tim was very silent for most of the lunch. Katrina thought there might have been something wrong, but she didn’t want to push the issue and continued to enjoy the day. Tim and Katrina drove out to Hampton Falls and went to Applecrest Farm Orchards, which is the first place they ever went apple picking at when they first started dating. They were walking around the Macintosh orchard and weren’t having much luck finding a tree that hadn’t been picked clean. They walked around to the back of the orchard hoping to have some better luck. Finally, in the back corner of the orchard was a tree covered in fresh apples that looked like it had not been touched! Katrina took this opportunity to start taking pictures. Tim was behind her, and said, “Well, I guess this is probably a good time then!” Katrina did not know what he meant so she turned around to find Tim on one knee. She instantly gasped as tears welled into both of their eyes as he asked, “Will you marry me?” Tim could barely get the words out before Katrina squealed, “Yes! Yes! Of course I will!” Tim and Katrina instantly started contacting their families with the news and couldn’t help but keep giant grins on their faces while they continued to pick apples. It was by far the happiest day of their lives, so far!
