If you ask Kylie... In June 2020, my COVID school year was just wrapping up. I'd been chatting with Daniel through Hinge for a couple weeks before I decided to schedule a date with him for my last day of school. He'd made some jokes with me about the movie Bad Teacher, and I thought he was funny, so what could I lose? We had dinner at Moxies and closed the place down. Like the gentleman he is, he offered to drive me home. A few minutes later, he texted me asking to see me again the next day. If a girl did that, it would probably read as *desperate,* but I won't lie: I found it soooo romantic! "We're basically just like The Notebook," I thought to myself. After our second date, my friend texted me that all the girls were together having a wine night. I looked at Daniel and asked him, "Are you down to meet my girlfriends right now?" and not only did he agree, but he stopped at a liquor store on the way to bring them more wine. My girlfriends loved him immediately. With their stamp of approval, I knew this could go somewhere. I quickly realized this guy who shared my love of quoting Adam Sandler movies and spending the whole dinner talking about how much we're enjoying the food was probably (definitely) the one. A dog, a house, and a marriage license later, here we are... ready to celebrate our love story with our closest friends and family! If you ask Daniel... I was only a few weeks into my dating app journey when I stumbled onto Kylie’s profile. She advertised herself as a teacher who was really into Larry David. That was all I needed to know to book our first date. I picked Moxies, a fun restaurant located steps away from my apartment just in case this seemingly perfect girl was actually part of an elaborate cat fishing scheme. Thankfully, she was even more beautiful, interesting, and funny in person so I did not need to make a quick exit. In fact, I completely abandoned the dating playbook and asked Kylie on a second date before the first date was over. We went on three dates in four days before she escaped the Miami heat to Indiana for the summer. We talked almost every single day, keeping each other awake until the wee hours of the morning with witty banter. It became obvious very quickly that my dating app journey would be brief. I found my person and couldn’t wait to get life started with her in it every day.
