Ok, so nowadays, people meet online! And that's how we met. On a dating app, Coffee Meets Bagel. It seems lame, but clearly it worked! Kyle swiped right on Sydney because she was fun-loving and spontaneous. Sydney saw that Kyle "liked" her and decided to message him to say hi (Let the record show that she messaged him first)! The second they started chatting they couldn't stop. They were texting and talking on the phone all the time. Two weeks after chatting through the phone, they decided to meet up and go to the zoo and grab some sushi in Cincinnati. The rest is history.
Kyle proposed to Sydney in San Francisco at Land's End in the shadow of the Sutro Bath ruins. He had been wanting her to visit California with him for years so that she could meet some of the friends and visit some of the places that made him the man she fell in love with. He did his best to have an elaborate plan that made each day of their trip one filled with laughter and adventure. He even put a star next to the date he wanted to propose in his notebook (which he accidentally showed her 2 weeks in advance out of excitement). He planned an early morning hike, exploring different neighborhoods and a creole-inspired dinner in the heart of the city. While she wasn't quite surprised, it was an amazing trip filled with love and happiness that they are excited to bring into the future. He even got the ring right, and everything!
