Like every classic romance, we met online. Cheers to Hinge and a successful dating app algorithm for pairing us online.
We matched in early December, chatted via the app and over text for a week before TJ set up our first date!
December 16, 2023
Our First Date - TJ asked Corinne if she would rather go golfing, to a painting class, or bowling for their first date. She chose bowling, but little did she know she was going up against a bowling vet.
She also chose Olive Garden for dinner - they split Toasted Ravioli (a St. Louis fave) for appetizers with unlimited salad and breadsticks, obviously.
Fun Fact: Corinne's first throw of the night was a strike ... ask her today and she'll tell you that was Jesus and not natural ability.

The Second Date - At the end of the first date, TJ asked Corinne for a second for the following night!
The went to Target to finish Christmas shopping, picked up hot chocolate and viewed to Gaddy's Christmas Lights.

Proposal - Over the course of our relationship, we have fallen in love with hiking to waterfalls across the country. Of course, TJ planned the perfect proposal in front of a waterfall ... in the rain!
