Everyone loves a Tinder success story! Nick and I met on Tinder in 2017 and thanks to Nick's profile pictures at Machu Picchu, I decided to click "Like!" We spent hours talking about how great Nick's trip to Peru was, how incredible the food is there, and how c.r.a.z.y New York can be. After a couple weeks of talking we went out on our first date and we felt that we knew so much of each other already. In a few words, I loved to cook Peruvian food and Nick loved to eat it... it was the perfect match!!

At first, I thought I would try to find a more private spot here in New York days ahead, which ended up being like trying to get away from sand at the beach. I landed on surprising her at an area near the water called Dumbo, a romantic part of Brooklyn that overlooks the city where we began our relationship a year before. It was dusk and I had laid out hundreds of flowers all over the sidewalk before anxiously waiting for her and her friend to walk that way. Luckily I had the support of a couple friends to steer away some stage fright... a large crowd of on-lookers and tourists started gathering on the hill nearby to watch it all go down! When she came shortly after, she was super surprised and said Yes!
