Coleen and Patrick were about to give up on the wonderful world of online dating and gave it one more shot on Hinge. Wouldn’t you know it, that did the trick. Two weeks of talking led to a brunch date on a snowy February 9th, 2020 in downtown Naperville. Well all of this because they both swiped right, the rest is history!
After roughly 14 months of dating, Coleen submitted to Patrick’s Irish charm, perfect jawline, and washboard abs and proposed to Patrick. Haha he wishes! Patrick knew Coleen was the one after just 4 dates. Coleen knew after losing her shoe on St. Patricks Day and Patrick said I’m not interested in your shoes! In a weekend trip to Kohler Wisconsin to enjoy the beautiful spring weather, Patrick took a knee at a lakeside bench and asked an impatient Coleen if she would be his wife. An estactic Coleen agreed ( Patrick is still not sure Coleen said yes) and they followed it up with a horse drawn carriage ride and romantic dinner.
