Who knew that hitting like on a free online app for dating would lead to this. We had our first meeting at Pie Lady & Son. With online dating, there is always skepticism mixed with a hint of optimism. The underlying hope that maybe this one will be a good one. The conversation flowed well. No red flags here. We didn't ghost each other. The conversations continued via phone. And then our first official date happened. Salsa dancing. We were shy, lots of blushing. There was definite chemistry there. The night was sealed with a kiss. One in which Cliff said "glad I got that over with" and fumbled his words after. With that, Sheila was hooked. We've been inseparable since.

We took a little weekend getaway to upstate NY. A much needed trip in the midst of quarantine. There was a hike up Giant's ledge in Phoenicia that offers endless views of the fall foliage. We did the hike after a lazy afternoon. We found a cozy spot at the top with a boulder that sticks out. Cliff began setting up his little tripod so we could take a picture. What he was really doing was setting up the video to record the moment he proposed. We got engaged on the top of a mountain, on the edge of a cliff, in the middle of a pandemic. We will be married at Elm Rock Inn, in Stone Ridge NY in the center of all that beautiful fall foliage. Come spend a love filled weekend with us!
