OkCupid in 2014 while living in New York. Michael lived in Harlem with his dog Olive and a roommate, and I lived in Brooklyn with two roommates. By New York dating standards, dating in separate boroughs usually qualifies as a dealbreaker, but we persisted. We moved in together by the end of 2015, and adopted our second dog, Kit, soon after.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, Michael and I planned a trip abroad to Hungary, with a layover in Iceland. While on our layover, we took an excursion to the Blue Lagoon, a spot we had been to and fallen in love with. As our layover was early in the morning, we were some of the first bathers to enter the blue waters. While resting in the far pool of the lagoon, Michael pulled out a small plastic bag with a ring inside. I said yes, then we flew off for the continued part of our journey.<\/p>\n<p><a
