We were both having pretty bad days, but both of our friend groups dragged us out to the infamous UN (if you know, you know). I (Lida) was dancing with a friend when I saw a really cute guy sitting in the back, and asked him to dance. We didn't talk for a few months until I (Mariusz) commented on a facebook status post on her page - she wasn't pleased with the comment and called me out on messenger....and here we are 10 years later!

For about two years, I (Lida) worked as a travel nurse, which gave us the opportunity to travel around the US for about 1.5 years. I (Mariusz) was trying to propose for 1.5 years but Lida kept ruining the proposal by rushing us to and from various weekend trips. That all changed on March 15 on our trip to Sedona. I knew this was likely my last chance to propose because our travels were coming to an end, and the world had just shut down. We hiked up to Devil's Bridge and I popped the question. Lucky for me (Lida), I was very patient that day and didn't rush.
