Although we worked at the same hospital our paths never physically crossed, but they did on Tinder. We chatted for a few days before we finally met for our first date at Boxwood coffee in Summit, NJ. He`ll tell you he had to feed the meter twice while he waited for me to show up, but who really knows? When I arrived, I was so nervous I said "Hey Ralph, is that you? I forgot what you looked like". After an hour of awkward first date conversation, I knew this would turn into something special.
Ralph planned a day for us to go to Peddlers Village with his sister Heather and her boyfriend Anthony. Our first stop was to a shop that supported their local Winery, there we bought a bottle of wine. We popped it open and began walking around sipping our wine while enjoying all of the beautiful lights. Ralph started acting suspicious when he seemed to be looking for the best place to take a selfie. He asked if I wanted to take a picture in front of the big Christmas tree and that was it! I turned around to pose for a picture and he was down on one knee. We are so excited to share the next chapter of our love story with all of you. See you in Syracuse NY!
