Finding the right person to get married is still a tough job despite the fact that today’s generation has a number of dating apps and websites at their disposal which let them know about the people suiting their profile.
However, a person should never stop trying and keep on searching even on other social media networks. In this article, we are going to tell you about a couple who is getting married and the whole credit goes to Twitter, as their love story started on the micro-blogging site only.
It all started 4 years ago in 2014 when beautiful Torey Stachowicz, a personal trainer by profession from Cleveland, Ohio, asked Ben Axelrod for a date via Twitter. Ben, a digital producer and sportswriter, asked her “You buying?”
Here’s what Ben told,
“I didn’t get that tweet until I woke up at about 6:00 a.m. the next morning. I wake up to this alert. Understand I don’t get tweets like this one very often! So I responded in kind and we had a back and forth.”
Not only Torey agreed to buy but she also gave an option to Ben to decide his favourite place. Ben was not particular about the place but about chicken fingers. And this is how a love story started.
Check out tweets:
Torey tweeted, “I want to go on a date with @BenAxelrod”

And Ben said, “Nah, if you’re buying, you can pick. Just make sure they have chicken fingers.”

As per WKYC, the first date took place at Dublin’s Pint Room and it was Ben who paid the bill.
Romance sparkled between the two and on Feb 11, 2018, Ben proposed to Torey for marriage in the same style as she asked him out for date via Twitter.
Ben tweeted, “I want to marry @toreydanae”
