Rob and Kim met in early 2008 when a “compatibility predictor” on a dating website indicated that they would be 98% compatible. How could they not at least meet for a beer with those types of odds?
Odds they were… Kim and Rob, that is. They’re both a little goofy, in the good way, and soon found themselves inseparable. Kim knew Rob was the guy for her when, after having only known her for a couple of weeks, he dropped everything to zip across town and console her over a stray cat that chose to die on her porch (RIP, Pez the Cat). Rob figured Kim was the one when he returned home from a ten-day canoe trip to find his fridge full of beer.
If you haven’t yet met Kim, Rob wants you to know that she is his favorite “arm-charm”… who is also about to head back to school to pursue psychiatry (this time as the doctor!). She’s learning to love cooking (phew!) and is a self-proclaimed cat person and has enough laughter and compassion to fill a room all on her own. And, if you haven’t met Rob, you won’t yet know that he is a pun-master photographer who loves the outdoors but is a certified geek. He’s funny and patient and brilliant and kind, and meets 11 out of the 10 criteria on Kim’s Must-Have List.
When proposing to Kim, Rob felt strongly that the element of surprise was far more important than the element of romance, so after a night out for dinner and a movie and a lovely walk home, he waited for Kim to ask him to quit bugging her before popping the question. Before “Of course!”, she managed to spit out, “Are you kidding?!?” Romance: 0.5. Surprise: 10. :)
