We met at our friend Katie's 30th birthday party. I remember the moment I saw her outside the restaurant and hoped she was a part of our party. Luckily she was, and we sat across from each other and chatted effortlessly through the whole dinner. Then the party went to see a movie, and we sat next to each other. After the movie, we walked to our cars, which just happened to be parked next to each other. She asked for my number and the rest is history.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?It was Galentine's day 2015. We had gone out with with our girlfriends for dinner and drinks, and we ducked out before the final bar. When we got home, we were changing and getting ready for bed when we got a phone call. One of our friends saw her boyfriend out with another girl, and she was sobbing. Before i had time to react, Maggie was up, dressed and ready to go comfort our friend. I knew in that moment, more clearly than ever, that I wanted her to be my wife, and I asked her to marry me.
What would you do with $20,000?After all these years, we still haven't taken a honeymoon. I'd love to take Maggie to Europe for our 10 year anniversary, she's never been. Then we'd take whatever was left and add it to our down payment for a house.
