It all started with a click, well a swipe to be more specific - a right swipe that is! Our first interaction was on Tinder, at the time neither of us thought much of it. After long days (and nights) of talking we finally decided to meet each other in person on January 7th, 2021 at the union station aquarium. Immediately we both felt extremely comfortable with one another and ended up chatting and driving around for hours! We continued to chat and spend time together until February 2021 when Rylee decided to move out to Rosebud, Mo to be closer to Nick. We ended up getting our first dog together on May 18, 2021 and moved into our first home together on September 22, 2021

A couple weeks before Christmas Nick and Rylee decided to open a small gift. Nick had opened his present first (not that either of us could remember what the gift was) and then it was Rylee's turn. She started by unwrapping a big box, when she got that opened another wrapped box, when she got that opened another smaller wrapped box. This continued until she finally got to the last box, a ring box, that's when Nick got on one knee and popped the question, "Will you marry me?"
