We met the good old-fashioned way... Bumble! Exactly two weeks after Nick moved to Hawaii for "just" three months, we went on our first date & got to know each other over beers at Off the Wall and Aloha Beer Co. (which is still one of our favorite date spots today!). Three months quickly turned into six months, which quickly turned into "indefinitely" for Nick's time on Oahu. We're loving island life in Kailua and not leaving any time soon!
For my birthday a few months prior, Nick gifted me date "coupons" for me to redeem throughout the year. One of our favorite ways to spend quality time together, especially at the beginning of our relationship, was to watch the sunset together at Ala Moana Beach Park. So I didn't think too much of it* when one of our coupons was a sunset picnic! (* Okay, I was overthinking EVERYTHING. We had ordered the ring together - I knew he had to be popping the question soon!) But then, he got down on one knee, asked me to marry him, I replied with unintelligible gibberish between tears, he asked again, and I said yes!
