This couple started dating thanks to a tweet and now they're engaged
You know what they say: first comes the DM, then comes marriage ...
That's what happened to Madison O’Neill, 20, and Charlie Dohrmann, 21. The couple, who are both from Des Moines, Iowa, knew each other from high school, but not on a personal level.
That all changed the day O’Neill tweeted asking if anyone was interested in being her date to a wedding.

Meanwhile Dohrmann was so determined he even called out of work. He told Mashable, "I remembered her from high school and I knew she was really cute. I called in sick for work because she had already told me all the info for when the wedding was and I wasn’t about to miss it!"
They turned out to have an instant connection and began dating a week after.

“I took her to the Coronado Bridge on the island side and she set up a tripod so we could take pictures together. After she hit the timer on her camera I told her we should try a new pose and that’s when I got on one knee and asked her to marry me."
