We met in 2018 when we both applied to work at Chick-Fil-A. Soon after meeting we began spending more time together, looking forward to shifts we were scheduled together, and even eating dinner together after work while we waited for our moms to pick us up. We had a specific table in the corner we would always go to when eating (and we still do). Everyone kept telling us we would end up dating and married at some point but we refused to believe it, we were JUST friends. Finally, in October of 2019 Connor asked Phoenix out over snapchat, and then she dumped him over snapchat two months later (on Christmas...oops). Long distance obviously didn't work for us but we remained friends, agreeing to give it another shot when Phoenix moved back to Fargo for college. We started dating the second time in August of 2020. We were still long distance but Phoenix was able to get cheap flights from Denver to Fargo every month so we could still see each other. In July of 2021 Phoenix moved to Wahpeton for college. Only being an hour apart, she drove to Fargo every single weekend to spend time together, and he occasionally drove to Wahpeton for her. Phoenix graduated and moved back to Fargo in May 2023 and Connor proposed 9 days later!
