While telling me about their proposal story they said, “At one point we were wiping tears from each other’s faces.” Jonathan had asked his mother to take Sedef and her mother out for a girls day while he setup candles, flowers, and got dinner ready. When they got to his mother’s house he was waiting, ready for a surprise proposal. Sedef was frozen in shock, and Jonathan was paralyzed by nerves.

From coffee to candles

Sedef & Jonathan met on the Hinge dating app. The first time they met was for coffee on the Monon. They joked about how Sedef was very nervous and couldn’t stop talking, but Jonathan thought that was refreshing because on his previous dates it always seemed difficult to keep the conversation going. With Sedef, Jonathan felt like the conversation just flowed so naturally and they seemed to click from the beginning.

Jonathan orchestrated a surprise proposal with precision. While his mother took Sedef and her mother out for a relaxing girls’ day, he meticulously set the scene with candles, flowers, and a romantic dinner. As they arrived at his mother’s house, Jonathan waited anxiously. Sedef was stunned into silence, and Jonathan’s nerves nearly got the better of him. His secret-keeping skills failing him, he revealed that everyone was already in on the plan. The moment was filled with tears of joy, as they wiped away happy tears from each other’s faces.
