A mutual acquaintance introduced them to each other. Ian was immediately overcome by her beauty and wit.

Liz spent the entire trip back from DC 101's Kerfuffle pumping herself up to Finally Ask Him Out. "Ian...would you go on a date with me?" "Yes." Wow. He answered fast. "I mean, like, a for real date." "Yes." "Well. Okay then."

The couple drove to Sayerville, NJ to see Ninja Sex Party and TWRP. Planet Booty opened for them. When Danny Sexbang's silky smooth voice started singing, "Heart Boner," Ian got down on one knee and mouthed, "Will you marry me?" Shakespeare rolled in his grave for never having thought of something so romantic.
