We're getting married!

I was riding my motorcycle when his old Corolla came out of no where and hit me, sending me off the road into a shallow ditch. He immediately stopped and got out to check on me and apologized profusely, begging me to not file an insurance claim for any potential damage. Instead offered to take me on a date, promising a good time. His charming nature and handsome features overcame my better judgment, and I agreed, since no major damage was done to my bike. We went on our first date on June 9, 2022 at Edgefield McMenamins in Troutdale, where we spend hours talking, until the next day (1:00 AM). After spending almost every weekend together, he asked me to be his girlfriend on July 23, 2022 at Cape Kiwanda on the OR coast. We told this "how we met" story on our 6 month anniversary at The Melting Pot in Portland as a joke, but the waitress walked away before we could tell her we were kidding, and so the joke lives on. We actually met on Hinge (he sent his only rose), as he was new to the area and was looking to start dating. I was absolutely not looking for a relationship, but was told by an old manager to "go date around and see what is out there." He flashed his goofy smile and baby blues and I was hooked for life!
