We liked each other’s profiles and the rest is history. Our first date, was coffee at Vigilante and we talked until the place closed and parted ways, eager for the second date. Once Merlin gave his approval (after a few tummy rubs) there was nothing else standing in the way of our love. It grew, over months of cooking meals, sharing drinks, and laughter with friends and family. We got engaged during a hike over a weekend getaway in Warm Springs, VA.
