Story
Our first date was on January 26th, 2017. We were basically inseparable from there on....
But if you rewind about a week and a half before that, I was actually the one that reached out to Kev first on P.O.F (otherwise known as Plenty of Fish - a dating app). We hit it off right away playfully chatting about our love for Moscato wine and the fact that one our favorite things to do is curling up on the couch, with a good glass of wine, and movie. I remember thinking he was an incredibly easy and enjoyable person to talk to so my next question for him was when he was going to take me out and teach me how to shoot a gun? We scheduled a gun range and dinner date for the 26th and the rest was history.
Tidbits
How did you first meet?
See Our Story!
Who made the first move? How?
I was actually the first one to make a conversational move on Plenty of Fish. I thought he was super cute, can you blame me? ;)
Who's going to take out the trash?
Oh noooo doubt, him. lol
What was your most memorable date?
Our first date was so unique and memorable. I met him at his apartment in Ashburn, VA. He then drove me to Silver Eagle Group gun range where I experienced how loud a gun really is for the first time! Guns make me nervous, but HE made me even more nervous....and excited! After we left the gun range he took me to dinner at Uncle Julios in One Loudoun, where we both had the most mediocre Mexican food of all time lol. But to off-set the "not so good" dinner we had we wrapped up our first evening with some yummy Moscato wine and talked until the sun started coming up. Best. First. Date.
What's your favorite activity together?
Netflix and Chilling.
Where are you going for your honeymoon?
Still deciding....but we'd both love to go somewhere exotic. Maybe Thailand or Bali.... We are open to suggestions? haha
What's the best meal you have eaten together?
The high-end restaurant in Seattle, Washington, called Blue Acre. We are HUGE oyster fans and their oysters are the best we've ever had. If you ever find yourself in Seattle you have to check it out.
What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?
Hands down our trip to Whidbey Island, Washington in August of 2019. He also asked me to marry him during that trip!
