On February 9, 2016, John and I connected on a dating app called Coffee Meets Bagel. We hit it off right away and decided to meet up for our first date at Coyo Taco in Miami on February 15. It was through chips and guac and beer that we connected even more, sharing stories about our families and experiences in college. That same night, we continued our date dancing at a speakeasy where we had our very first kiss (shhh, that's a secret!). After several dates, John took me to The Cheesecake Factory on March 22 and asked me to be his girlfriend. Of course, I said yes. The rest is history, as they say. Fast forward to December 25, 2020 during a pandemic, I said yes again when John dropped on one knee and asked me to marry him in front of his family and mine virtually. Now in 2022, we are six years into our relationship and one year engaged. We live in Boston with our two fur babies: Kaiser (Rottweiler) and George (miniature poodle). We can't wait to tie the knot and celebrate our love with our close family and friends on November 5, 2022 - we hope to see you there! Love, Gilmarie & John
