Shane was on internship in NYC and we matched on Bumble (yes a dating app). His tagline was "I joined this app to find someone to see Phantom of the Opera with". Abby dove into his messages with an interrogation of his seriousness of this offer and a barrage of fun facts about Phantom, which she had seen at least 5 times at that point. Our third date was to see the show and the rest is history <3
Shane planned a quiet dinner date to our favorite restaurant in Cork City. When we were just about ready to go out, Shane got down on one knee and showed a beautiful video recapping our relationship that he spent many many nights putting together to ensure happy tears when he asked to marry me.
Abby planned a casual date to The High Line, an above ground train track turned park and the site of our first date. After a long walk of secretly trying to find a quiet, secluded corner of the park, she got on one knee and proposed with a photoshopped phantom of the opera ticket with the question "Shane, will you marry me?" on it.
