How It Began

It all started on a dating app. Both of us joined in support of our friends. Just a few short clicks later, and Charles stumbled across Rebecca where he left a heartfelt message. Her engaging response caught his attention. They exchanged phone numbers, eventually face-timed, and set a date to finally meet in person. He showed up at her door with a dozen roses and they headed off to Fells Point on their first date. 5 years later, they drove 2 hours back to his hometown. He convinced her they were going to his friend's restaurant for a seasonal tasting where he had written "Will You Marry Me" in large letters on the street outside the restaurant's large bay window. Sadly, it rained and washed away the words. His friend was a quick thinker and painted the fateful words onto a restaurant rug and placed it outside where Becca could see it. Thank goodness for Plan B! They walked to the second floor restaurant, and as she glanced out the window, he got down on one knee. After saying 'what are you doing' a handful of times, she realized what was happening. It was a magical moment that neither will ever forget.
