After three weeks of talking through text, phone calls, and voice messages while Lizzie recovered from surgery, they finally met for dinner at The Well in Kansas City on Monday October 5, 2022. A few hours of talking later, they left to grab ice cream at Betty Rae's. While Lizzie hoped for a kiss, Garrett settled on finger guns to close out the first date. However, things went so well that Garrett got a chance to redeem himself on Wednesday of the same week during their second date (which ended with a kiss). The two began incorporating each other into friend circles and family events and have become quite inseparable. Garrett took Lizzie back to the spot where it all began at The Well on September 22, 2023 for a surprise proposal; something neither one of them will ever forget.
