Our Story
Our love story started on January 7, 2020. That was the day we met and our first time hanging out. We didn't call it a date because neither of us were looking for a relationship. We were just two neighbors having dinner together. Even though neither of us were initially looking for a mate, we later confessed that, from day 1, we both thought the other was really something special and imagined a life together. Little did we know that hanging out, and having dinner that night would be the start of a beautiful journey together. We have spent every day together in person or virtually since that day. Before we knew it, weeks rolled into months, then months into years. On January 29, 2023, while on our first cruise together, he said, "Will you marry me"? and she said "Yes"!
