Caroline and Marcie met in August 2019 in NYC. After chatting for a while, Marcie unintentionally gave Caroline the wrong phone number ๐ต, and Caroline unintentionally stood Marcie up on the first date ๐. We all make mistakes. After the first date ๐ฅ, Marcie knew that Caroline checked all the boxes: intelligent, hilarious, great smile ๐ and beautiful. On the other side, Caroline left the first date not knowing if Marcie even liked her ๐คจ. As they parted, Caroline, in her true British politeness, nervously mumbled "we should do this again". And Marcie, in her unwavering ability to ignore nuance, took that literally. ๐ค A few months later, Marcie told Caroline that "we are never breaking up." ๐ Two years later, Caroline proposed. Marcie is right. ๐
