It all started with a dating app. Any guesses? After sending Conner a series of would-you-rather questions, their conversation started with enthusiastic curiosity. A week passed and Conner made a point to let Steffi know that she "seemed normal enough" and asked if she would like to meet him at a local coffee shop. After a goofy introduction, and a casual "let me get your coffee for you", their conversation was easy and comfortable. They were smitten. Their second date consisted of axe throwing and sushi. It's safe to say that Conner was thoroughly impressed with Steffi's axe throwing skills, and she was equally impressed with his ability to devour eight rolls of sushi without batting an eye. For their third date, Conner invited Steffi over to make her dinner. Ladies and gentlemen, Steffi found out she had a chef on her hands. And so they discovered their passion for food and cooking together. They ended their night with full tummy's and a kiss on the cheek. The two had many more dates and made their relationship official on New Years Eve of 2019. What was expected to be a normal and adventurous first year for any couple quickly turned uncertain for many. As life was put on pause, Conner and Steffi made a magical fortress together in their small living rooms. Days blurred seamlessly together; filled with mancala games, Bob Ross competitions, couch-forts, and dreams of a future farm. Maybe a year is quick, but Steffi and Conner realized how less scary the world seemed with the other in it. So on a cold, foggy (and some would say a rather spooky) night, while walking on a dark empty pier, another special occasion was marked with an intimate New Years Eve proposal. Halloween-loving Steffi thought it was perfect and Conner was now two for two! I hope you enjoyed the story of how these two bumbling bees got to where they are today and that you will join them in celebrating this love that they are so fortunate to have found.
