Wedding Date on Dec 5, 2021

We met in NYC after matching on a dating app. We had a super slow play courtship and then the pandemic happened and we ended up living with my (Emily) family in Ohio for 5 months in 2020. In 2021 we embarked on a 6 month road trip across the US with a 15 year old chihuahua and just fell so madly in love. We had been talking about getting married for a while, mainly me asking Adrian when he was going to lock it up. We picked the ring during our roadtrip in Texas, and Adrian spent a few months from Georgia to Ohio and New York trying to arrange logistics to get it delivered on time - a challenging job given that we only stayed in each place for a few weeks at a time. He picked the least assuming day. We were in NYC and we decided to take a nice hike out of the city. We had a late start and the weather was really nasty, super hot and humid. I wasn't dressed nice or put together, I had a face mask holding up my hair...lol. We got a gorgeous clearing in the hike and Adrian distracted me from seeing what was happening and got out the ring. He said nice things that I totally don't remember (hence why we need a video) and showed me the ring. I tried to put it on, but because we were hiking my fingers were totally swollen. I got it on like a centimeter and then we had to put back in box and hike down. I was googling how to reduce swelling, to which discovering raising hands above head works and proceeded for the remainder of the hike with my left hand above my head. People probably thought I was a nut job. We went to a near by brewery and called our family and got into cooler weather and the ring fit like magic. That night we went to a pizza place in Brooklyn and celebrated with drinks and two pies.
