Toby and Ola met during "The Covid 19" madness. A time when restaurants/bars were closed, and you had to stay 6 feet apart. Not an easy time to start dating, but we found each other on a dating site. That's right, dating sites sometimes work! Ola swiped right (meaning she liked something about Toby's profile) and then Toby sent a message. They spoke on the phone a few times then decided to meet in person. Their first date was at Sunset Cove in Dundalk, MD. It was an outdoor Tiki Bar on the water. At first sight, Toby was in awe of Ola's beauty and relieved that he wasn't "Catfished"! They had a great evening and got to know each other better. After a few days went by since their first date and many phone conversations later, they decided to have another date. Toby invited Ola to his house to make Ola dinner (showing off his cooking skills) and to watch a movie. There was such a strong connection between them, they started spending more and more time together hanging out at Toby's neighborhood bonfires/block parties, traveling, meeting each other's amazing families and falling deeply in love! This was just the beginning of Toby & Ola's journey of them wanting to spend the rest of their lives together!
Toby planned a trip to Florida to see Toby's family knowing he was going to propose to the woman he loves (After getting blessings from Ola's parents first). Toby searched for the perfect ring to bring to Florida to pop the question. They arrived in Florida and Toby waited until they were able to visit Siesta Key with its beautiful beaches and amazing sunsets. Toby's sister Kelly was along on this special day to capture the moment. They spent the whole day on the baby powder like sand at Siesta Key beach. As the sun was setting Toby got down on one knee and asked the love of his life to marry him. Ola looked at Toby and said.... "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, STOP IT!" Eventually, once she processed that this was really happening, she did say YES. Everyone around them on the beach were clapping and congratulating them. It was a very magical day! Toby & Ola are so excited to celebrate this next chapter in their lives with all their friends and families. See you all in FLORIDA!
