We met the modern way—on a dating app—and almost didn’t meet at all! Both of us considered canceling, but instead agreed on a low-pressure plan: a casual night on the lakefront with a couple of beers. What was supposed to be an easy, no-expectations date turned into hours of talking as the sun set and realizing this might be something worth showing up for again. Turns out, not canceling was one of our best decisions. Mario planned the perfect proposal by ~casually~ suggesting a walk along the lakefront, which brought us full circle to our first date spot.
