Although Margaret and Robert officially met on Hinge, it was only minutes into their first date when they realized that their paths were already intertwined. Several years earlier, Robert and his friends from high school had lived in a rental house in Dallas. As it turns out, the rental house was Margaret's childhood home, and the landlord was Margaret's mom.

Robert proposed in the backyard during the solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. Although Margaret totally saw the proposal coming (since when does Robert wear his shirt tucked in with a belt on a Monday), she never expected how powerful it would be to get engaged during the eclipse. As the daytime sky suddenly turned dark, Robert knelt down on one knee.
