Tidbits
How did you first meet?
We first matched on the dating app, Coffee Meets Bagel. Will was so quick to ask when we could meet in person, there's not much in our chat history. We met for the first time at Hotel Irvine where we were supposed to only have drinks, but I was so hungry, I ordered a flatbread and fries (and yes, I shared). And surprisingly this introvert and I were talking for hours before we ended the night, where Will tried to kiss me, but I was totally oblivious and didn't catch on.
What was your most memorable date?
For Ina, Date #2 was definitely one of the most memorable. We went to Disneyland and CA Adventure after work. We had drinks and dinner at what was previously known as Cove Bar, now, Lamplight Lounge. The parks weren't crowded at all and Will rode Mr. Toad's Wild Ride for the first time. It was when he walked me back up to my apartment and we kissed for the first time, but we bumped teeth and had to do a second take.
What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?
Definitely Playa del Carmen where Will proposed or Taiwan, which was our first international trip together. I got to meet Will's family for the first time when visiting Taiwan. We were actually there to celebrate his cousin's wedding. It was the first wedding we went to together, and since then we've now been to 15 (not including our own)!
