We met over the social media dating app Tinder. After a "Super-Like,'' we matched and texted a lot for several days before deciding to meet each other on Memorial Day for drinks at Bottle and Barlow. Since Tammy didn't have a car at the time, Ryan picked her up and headed to Bottle and Barlow. We started there and eventually migrated to other places downtown but hung out the majority of Memorial Day. The rest is kind of history.

We woke up to head to Monterey to celebrate Tammy's birthday. She came downstairs into our dining room to birthday presents, one of which was a tape recorder. She turned it on and it started to play one of our favorite songs. She looked over and Ryan was down on one knee. She started immediately crying and yelled "Yes!" before Ryan could even open the ring box.
