In the midst of a worldwide pandemic, love prevailed! We met on a dating app in the height of COVID. After Facetime dates and weeks of endless conversation, we decided to meet up for mini golf, dinner, and walking around downtown Cedarburg, WI. Then, as they say, the rest is history!
Many months later, in May of 2022, Matt planned a special date in downtown Chicago. Following a trip to the Chicago Art Institute and walks through gardens and parks, Matt led me to a pier overlooking Lake Michigan with a clear view of Navy Pier on one side and the planetarium on the other. "Let me take a picture of you looking at the lake," he said. When I turned around, Matt had the ring in his hand and was down on one knee. After accepting, he showed me a video that he had compiled of our closest family congratulating us on our engagement, making the day even more special!
