Our dads even served missions together in Spain! Ironically, it took a dating app to finally bring us together. As I was interviewing people for the episode, I was intrigued by the things I heard about a new dating app called Mutual. A lot of the people I talked to had tried it and and were having good experiences.
After publishing the episode, I had a handful of listeners come to me and tell me that they had gone out and downloaded a dating app usually Mutual because of the episode.
One of these people was my roommate, who was also incredibly skeptical of dating apps. She started going on dates and having good experiences and encouraged me to give Mutual a try. After she mentioned it, I kept having this little nudging feeling that I should get on the app.
I thought about it for a couple weeks, trying to ignore the thought. Finally, a bit reluctantly, I swallowed my pride and downloaded the app in July. But I quickly forgot my pride in lieu of all the free dinners I was racking up and started mostly enjoying my experiences. Long story short, we hit it off on our first date and ended staying up talking until almost 3 in the morning.
We got engaged about eight months later and just had our one-year wedding anniversary last week. I figured the trip would be just a fun adventure with my two favorite people, but it turned into something even more when Brandon proposed in front of Skogafoss Waterfall, which is featured in the movie.
