We both matched on a dating app! Our first date was at a bar in West LA called San Francisco Saloon (now closed). We both now live in San Francisco, which is quite a funny coincidence.

We’ve been together for over six years! We started dating at the beginning of the pandemic, and our anniversary happens to be the day before April Fools’ Day.

It happened at our favorite park, where we love to play chess. As we normally begin a game, he asked me to pick one of his closed hands to see which colored pawn I'd play. When I chose a hand, there wasn't a chess piece inside but an engagement ring!
