Tom's passion for public service helped drive his life until he met Dionne. Building up a successful career as both an advocate for political change and a digital marketer, Tom was fortunate to live a full life. When he met Dionne, he found out how much more there was in life. Proposing to Dionne stands as one of the best moments in his life, and he is excited to move into the next phase together with her.
Who would have guessed you could find love in a crowded bar at the bottom of an old-fashioned? Dionne, who didn't think romance was possible in the age of trumpism and ubereats, found in Tom a kindred spirit, a source of companionship and fellow gossip who lives for the tea. As the years went by, the strength of her love for Tom pushed her to places emotionally that revealed both the strength of her character and the steadfastness of the two's ever-depending love. She never thought she would be wed so she is deeply moved by everyone who took time out of their lives to celebrate her special day!
It seems everyone meets on the Internet nowadays. For us, it was Bumble that brought us together. If you ask Dionne, she'd say Tom matched with her first. If you ask Tom, he'd say it was her. Regardless of who-swiped-first, the first message was, ``When are you trying to meet up?``
The answer to that first Bumble message? On Friday after work. Where at? Sugar House. This famous cocktail bar in Corktown, Detroit is where the famous Old Fashioned was drank that led to love. Sitting by the window on a beautiful July evening, Tom and Dionne talked for hours yet felt that the time flew by. When they left, they new they'd found something special, but neither knew exactly what would blossom from that date.
Two years after that fateful first date, right before heading out on a vacation, Tom and Dionne met up at his apartment to get brunch. Shannon, Dionne's sister, was the accomplice. She made sure that Dionne didn't suspect a thing. After dropping the bags in Tom's apartment, he asked her to help him get something from his room. When she entered, he dropped to one knee and popped the question. Dionne was aghast, and it took her the better part of five minutes to actually say the word ``yes``. From there, they all went to brunch before heading to the airport to celebrate and start planning the wedding!
