couple one: roxi + zack
ideal date together
“our ideal date together would look something like this:) zack would come over and surprise me with home made waffles…shaped like hearts, no whipped cream plus strawberries! i would share of course. we would pack up and head over to oak glen for the afternoon. first we would venture to oak knoll, set out a blanket and the scrabble and play for a few hours and snack on chex mix, it is our favorite game! conversation would be happening which is why the game would probably take so long…we tend to get lost in conversation no matter what we are doing:) after scrabble we would walk over to the car, grab the kite, head over to the lawn and fly it like crazy. we fly kites and love it so much! after we would drive over to snow-line apple farm and kiss under the big walnut tree…we had our first kiss there and that is where we are getting married so it should be a part of our ideal date:) we would go home, put on some spiffy clothes and head over to prospect park for shakespeare in the park. we have cheese, crackers, and wine packed to enjoy during the show and a blanket for later when it gets chilly:) we would end it with a “good night love bug” and love you so. and that would be it. simple and sweet. thanks for reading!”
couple two: lisa + joshua
ideal date together
our ideal date would start with us going to the zoo! we both love watching animals, and we are the only people we have been able to go to the zoo with and not feel like we’re going too slowly. somehow we both get entirely caught up in just watching the little nuances of critter-movements. since we both like sketching, we would bring our sketchbooks and an assortment of pens and pencils. (since she is way better at drawing, i only draw a little until i see her drawing. then i get too discouraged because her drawing is better than mine, so i stop.) i would definitely have a camera with me because i so love taking pictures of my beautiful fiance, even though she still isn’t fully comfortable with it. the zoo is also a great place because we really enjoying just going on walks together and talking, walking hand in hand. the zoo is pretty much just going on a really chill walk with awesome scenery.
after the zoo, we would probably go somewhere fun to eat like CPK, cheesecake factory, rainforest cafe, or BJ’s. as silly as it sounds, we still fully enjoy just sitting across the table from each other and staring at each other. i don’t know about her, but i am still completely captivated by her vivacious beauty, and i could just sit and stare at her all evening. our conversations would doubtlessly bounce around from important planning for the future to trivially repeating that weird sound we heard at the zoo and still think it’s hilarious.
and what date night would be complete without some cuddle time? after having gorged ourselves beyond the comfortable limits, we would go to one of our homes and watch a good movie while still thoroughly enjoying each others company. despite having spent the majority of the day together, we would still take enjoyment in the mere presence of each other. now that right there sounds like a great date!
