Christina and I waited entirely too long to meet each other. We are both in our early 30s, and we met on the dating app Hinge. I had been on there for 2 years, yet she was on there for 5 days. Our first date lasted for 5 hours where we quickly bonded over our mutual love of Buffalo sports, the importance of family and our shared Italian heritage. We have been inseparable ever since. Quarantine has brought us together closer than ever. Despite not living together, we were able to spend nearly every hour of every day together for weeks at a time. During quarantine we had many adventures ranging from new culinary experiments, various home improvement projects, and even an encounter with a bear! In the beginning of November, under the guise of a walk with friends through Chestnut Ridge Park, I asked Christina to marry me. She screamed yes and we have planning our future together ever since!
