Kyle and I met six years ago at work. After six months of talking non-stop, we decided to get dinner outside of a work function. From then on, we were inseparable. When the pandemic began, Kyle and I escaped being locked up in our small city apartment by driving to my family's lake house in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. It was nice for both of us to have space to work remotely while enjoying nature. For the 4th of July weekend, his mom drove from Michigan to stay with my whole

Nicole and Shane

“Nicole and I met in 2013. She was a member of my health club in Naperville, Midwest Fit Club. We always shared a great connection. I encouraged her to take me up on a free fitness assessment. I approached the assessment professionally. At that point, she had my business card and phone number and took it upon herself to follow up and text me after the evaluation. Our communication started as just "fitness talk.” After a few days, via texts, we started getting to know e

Sara and Nick

“Nick and I met in college at Lewis University, and we remained just friends for many years. Quickly after graduation, we smoothly transitioned out of the friend zone, dating officially for three years before he popped the question. We were on vacation in Arizona where Nick had planned a sunrise hot air balloon ride over the mountains. Contrary to Nick’s belief, the basket under our hot air balloon did not allow for a smooth drop to one knee. It took some impressive ath

"Stan and I first met our freshman year of high school in religion class at Carmel Catholic High School in Mundelein, Illinois.He sat in front of me and would always turn around to crack jokes. It wasn’t necessarily love at first sight! He claims he had a crush on me back then, but I didn’t feel the same way. We didn’t become friends or even start flirting until Prom our junior year when Stan asked me to be his date. One week later, he asked me to be his girlfriend.We co

I gave him a quick squeeze as we ascended in the elevator and felt something. It was a box in his inner jacket pocket, but it couldn't be a ring, the box - it didn't feel like the right dimensions.  I tried to shake the idea as he held my hand and led me across the Hoxton Hotel's rooftop in Chicago. I surveyed the empty swimming pool deck, noting the two mini champagne bottles on the bar top and the restaurant patrons far in the background. I found mysel

Krislyn and Joe

"During my holidays in 2015, I was traveling to Singapore, 9,359 miles from Chicago," Joe says. "I met Krislyn over dessert and immediately bonded over food, family values, and computer games." A bit skeptical given the geographical distance and logistical hurdles (12-hour time difference), they weren't sure what would come of their flash-in-the pan spark. Remarkably, over a couple of years, the very long-distance relationship prevailed and thrived. That littl

It was the 3rd night in Florida when he kept saying, “let’s go catch the sunset and walk on the beach.” I finally said, “yes, let’s go.” We grabbed our free tiki hut drink vouchers and headed to the beach with our green mixed drinks!
