We're engaged!

He was fresh off a plane from Germany. She set her location to Virginia Highlands. Hinge gave them a go. After a 30 minute delay, in which Alex spent patiently waiting for Sydney's arrival, the first date began. It lasted several hours, not only becasue the conversation was good, but because they couldn't figure out how to call the waiter. One thing led to another...and fast forward 6 months they cruised to Nassau. Nothing tests the relationship better than international travel. Sydney departed the suburbia of John's Creek for the big city for a two week trial move in period. She never left. After more trials and travels, the relationship strengthened into an unyielding bond destined for only one place. The wedding chapel. Through secrecy and stealth, and the help of her parents, he planned a beautiful picnic at Piedmont Park where an important question was asked. She said yes! Which brings us to today, asking friends and family to help us celebrate our engagement. We plan to seal the deal at the courthouse later this summer, with an intimate celebration after Alex is settled at grad school in 2028. In the meantime, let's party!
