Pat and Caroline's story started when they both swiped right on a seemingly ordinary Monday afternoon in January. Caroline originally was not going to message Pat on Bumble, but he nudged her with a clever hint to ask about his travel bucket list. Intrigued, Caroline asked Pat about it, and he sent back a Wikipedia link of every country in the world. Smiling at his answer, that was all it took for Caroline to be hooked.

Pat and Caroline's third date, lovingly dubbed "The Picnic Date," holds a special place in their hearts as their favorite. Pat spent the entire week preparing, crafting the perfect picnic with delicious foods and thoughtfully packed boxes to make the day unforgettable. It was during this memorable afternoon at Piedmont Park that they both realized their connection was unlike anything they’d ever experienced before. Not long after, they made their relationship official.

After months of anticipation, Patrick proposed at one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World: Iguazu Falls. However, there was one hiccup—the engagement ring wasn’t ready in time for the big trip. Determined not to let that stop him, Patrick scrambled to find a stand-in ring while in Chile. Nothing was going to keep him from proposing at such an awe-inspiring location. As they stood by the breathtaking falls, Patrick turned to Caroline and asked, “Is this too public?” Caught off guard, Caroline nervously replied, “Uhhh,” just as Patrick dropped to one knee. It was a moment full of surprises, laughter, and love—one they’ll cherish forever.
