Meghan and Edwin’s love story kicked off in 2020, during the pandemic, on what they now lovingly call the worst dating app ever—Facebook Dating. Meghan had been on the app for a whopping three days before she was ready to delete it, but fate (or algorithms) stepped in, and she matched with Edwin. After a few weeks of texting, they decided it was time to meet. Edwin’s smooth move? Offering to crack Meghan’s back after she complained about her “work-from-home posture.” They ended up spending hours talking in Meghan’s apartment—nothing more, just endless conversation. The very next day, they went on their first official date for tacos, and from then on, they’ve been inseparable (and still eating tacos)!

After a few years together, Edwin moved in with Meghan and her cat, Binx. Their family quickly expanded with the addition of two more black cats, Winnie and Billy. Feeling that the timing was right, Edwin started planning a proposal, hoping to make it special during the holiday season with the help of Meghan’s sister, Mary-Shannon. But as plans go, things didn’t stay secret for long. In an attempt to discreetly steer Meghan away from her fun Christmas lights manicure to something more formal, Mary-Shannon’s inability to keep a secret—along with Meghan’s keen detective skills—unraveled Edwin’s entire plan. Determined not to let the proposal be ruined, Edwin switched to “Plan B.” He took Meghan on a trip to Helen, Georgia, a place she had always wanted to visit. Though Meghan suspected a proposal might be coming, Edwin threw her off the scent on their first night, casually telling her to “wait until next year.” The next morning, as they placed a lock on the love lock sculpture in Downtown Helen, Meghan was still in a bit of a mood, thanks to the previous night’s conversation. But all of that changed when Edwin got down on one knee and proposed on a crisp November morning, completely catching Meghan off guard and making the moment unforgettable.
