How all great love stories start, a dating app. We met through the Hinge dating app. Stacey thought Ryan was cute and messaged him first. Ryan thought Stacey was cute and messaged her back. Within the first few messages, we knew we wanted to go out on a date, but had to wait until Stacey came back from out of town. Our first date was at Eagle Park Brewery and it went so well that we shut down the place. The rest is history.

When there is a nice day outside, we love going on walks by the lake. It was a nice sunny Sunday and we decided to go to South Shore on one of our long walks on the Oak Leaf Trail. Ryan was acting a little weird towards the end of the walk and asked if we could sit by the water at sunset. When we got up, Ryan proposed right by the lake.
