We're Getting Married!

We matched on a dating app, Bumble, two days after I (Cory) moved to Knoxville. Bonding over books and our shared sense of humor was so easy that we decided to meet at Sarah's favorite bar later that day. She had claimed she would kiss me first, but I beat her to it. Things went so well that Sarah brought me a bagel the next morning for breakfast. We've been inseparable ever since.

It was almost a year into COVID and Cory and I (Sarah) were both away from our families on Christmas. At this point, I had been aggressively bothering Cory every day about whether the engagement ring I picked out had arrived in the mail. After we had opened all of our Christmas presents I went to the kitchen for a snack. When I came out, Cory was turned around, nervously messing with something, He turned around and I saw that he had the ring! I have no idea how, but he'd hid it once it arrived so that it would be a surprise. He was so nervous that he didn't see that I had just started eating. I said yes with a mouth full of babka and I wouldn't have it any other way.
