Man proposes to partner after Golden Girls quote on first date

First meeting at coffee shop

The couple met on Grindr in Sydney while the woman had recently ended a relationship. They planned to meet for coffee and spend time at Cronulla beach later that day. The man arrived shortly after she waited in a coffee shop at Miranda Fair. She felt nervous because it was her first real date since the previous breakup.

Shopping trip leads to proposal

They went shopping together to use gift vouchers that were about to expire. While standing in a homewares store, the man told a story and quoted The Golden Girls. He used the catchphrase from Sophia Petrillo which made the woman recall watching it with her grandmother. She immediately blurted out that she wanted to marry him after hearing the quote.

Wedding took place ten years later

The couple married on a beautiful April day in Leura following a week of heavy rain. The man had just finished a fashion course and made a special ball gown for her. She wore the gown he created with his own hands during the ceremony. He now serves as a wonderful stepdad to her two daughters from previous relationships.
