We're gettin' married!

Once upon a time, in a digital kingdom called Bumble, a girl swiped right on a boy. What began as a simple swipe turned into the bullet train ride of a lifetime! We went from barely remembering each other's names to realizing we had met our perfect match, our doppelgänger, our soulmate, faster than you can say "Happily ever after." Some call it fate, some call it chance, and some call it the mysterious algorithms of the internet. Whatever it was, we both knew deep in our bones that "This is it" in an instant.

The Pledge: On an unusually warm and otherwise unremarkable April day, we hit Sunny Side Beach, the scene of a delightful evening not long after we met. We armed ourselves with McDonald's for munching and a bottle of Moet Ice - just as we once did. The Turn: While I was befriending some ducks and fending off a swarm of evil seagulls, Nico nagged me incessantly for selfies. After futile protests, I finally got up from my cozy picnic blanket, reluctantly shoving my feet into sizzling black booties. Nico rummaged through the backpack for his phone while I turned away from the lake, waiting. I noticed a suspicious girl in a comically large hat and oversized sunglasses, hunched over with her phone pointed at us. I figured she was just jealous of my new duck pals, and wanted their pictures. The Prestige: Nico waddled over, dropped to one knee - then both - and blinded me with the most beautiful ring. In a daze, I went in for a kiss and hug. Nico shoved me gently and mumbled, "What you say??" My response? "OMG!!" as it finally clicked in who the weirdo girl was. And as you say - the rest is history. Well played Nico & Manon, well played.
