We almost met in September of 2022 at one of our favorite bars in West Loop. We both remember seeing each other that day and wanting to approach the other, but the timing didn't work out. 160 days later, John sent Annie a message on Instagram asking if she was free for drinks that weekend. We went on our first date that same night and have been inseparable ever since. We officially started dating a month and half later, and on December 30, 2023 John got down on one knee and asked Annie to be his wife. We cannot wait to continue our story with all of our closest friends and family on June 21.
