Aaron and Claire met on a dating app. After about a week of texting they met for ice cream and a walk in Coolidge Park. They talked about all of the things you’re not supposed to talk about on a first date, from religion to politics. It just felt right. The conversation felt easy and interesting, so they kept seeing each other.

Exactly one year later, Aaron brought Claire back to Coolidge Park for an anniversary walk, and proposed in a secluded spot by the river. She cried, she said yes, he cried. It was great.
