Our story began on November 2, 2022, when we matched on Facebook Dating. Our first date, just a few days later on November 6th, was a lunch at Licari's in Hudsonville. The pizza was delicious, but the real highlight was the instant connection we felt. I (Tabitha) was so excited about how great the date went, shared it with my parents prior to them leaving for Florida the next day. Since then, we've spent nearly every weekend together and even enjoyed a few extended vacations, creating lasting memories. Then, on the afternoon of August 31, 2024, on the beach in Ocean Isle NC, Jon popped the question. Apparently, I was one of the few who didn't know it was coming! And here we are, excited to start the next chapter of our adventure together.
