In 2015, Christian and Colleen met on a silly dating app. On August 22nd, 2015, on their first date, she brought him a bag of hot peppers she’d grown in her garden. He claims she broke his phone (she didn’t). They drank coffee and went to her favorite diner. On their second date, they drank coffee and sat around a fire pit until the wee hours of the morning. On their third date, they tried to visit a very old but very beautiful cemetery but arrived after it closed. From that moment, they had many adventures. On August 22nd, 2018, after dinner at City Tavern and a walk through the beautiful gardens in Independence National Park, he took her to the Rose Garden and got down on one knee. He told her that, as an anniversary gift, he was giving her the best gift - himself and offered her a ring. She said yes.
