Thank Goodness For Bumble

The date was April 10th, 2018. He was completing his MBA. She was already excelling in the corporate world. Both were swiping left in Bumble until they found each other's pictures and swiped right. She had strict guidelines: Gemini, taller than her, looks like his pictures. He checked them all. Her online name was Hope. She clarified it first thing when they met. It meant she wanted to see him again. She stepped out to the restroom; he checked her out when she walked away. She was fine. Their third date was fixing her car. He was skilled at it. She knew what she wanted to get done. "Today I'm the engineer, you are the assistant," she said. They both had fun. They hung out for a month, and he did not kiss her! She thought he was not interested. But yes, he was! He was very interested. They hung out some more; they dated some more; they traveled together and started dreaming and talking about a life that included both of them at the same time in the same place. On October 19th, 2019, he asked her to marry him, and she said Yes! (That's literally the only thing she said.) Now you are here celebrating with them this special moment in their lives when they become "we" and no longer he or she.
