The couple met up for their first date at Amber’s favorite pizza spot in Charlotte, N.C., after spotting each other on the dating app Hinge. She recalled having an immediate connection with Kevin as they discovered all the things they have in common.

“On the first date, he asked me my favorite place I’ve traveled and I said Grenada and ironically that’s his favorite place too. He went to med school there,” she told PEOPLE.

“We recently planned what I thought was a chill getaway to our favorite place, and he proposed on our favorite beach,” Amber shared with PEOPLE at the time. “I’ve very, very excited and super in shock. I had no idea!”
