We matched on Bumble on March 7, 2021, and had our first date in Chagrin Falls on March 21st. Instead of enduring a long wait at M Italian restaurant, we decided to go bowling and share a meal at the bowling alley, where we truly got to know each other. Wayne, though shy, excitedly shared his love for scuba diving, showcasing a video of his trip to the Georgia Aquarium. Taylor appreciated his enthusiasm. Just days later, on March 26th, during another dinner date, Taylor nervously asked Wayne to be her boyfriend with a note that read, "Will you go out with me? Check yes or no." Wayne's smile and quick request for a pen marked the beginning of their official relationship. Our bond deepened over the years, highlighted by memorable moments. Throughout our adventures, we have traveled to six countries and various states, including California and Virginia, and enjoyed three different cruises. On December 24, 2024, Wayne proposed to Taylor in Chagrin Falls while admiring Christmas lights. A small snowman ornament held a ring box, and as Taylor turned around, she found Wayne on one knee, asking her to marry him. With joy, she said yes! We are truly happy and looking forward to our future together.
