We met before a birthday party for a mutual friend. The bakery making the cake for the event was closing and our other mutual friends shouted out over a text thread for help picking up the cake since they couldn't make it in time. Annelisa and Phil separately agreed to pick up the cake. Phil got there first with his bike and got doored by a car just before picking it up. Annelisa arrived just after to take the cake and offer Phil a ride...

Phil had been trying to find the right moment to pop question to Annelisa for a few months. Then on evening of Phil's birthday, after coming back home from dinner, Phil accidentally dropped the engagement ring and Annelisa saw it. There was no turning back for Phil, so he got down on one knee. Annelisa smiled "Yes", and we were engaged.
