When couples meet on Match.com or Tinder, they get to exchange messages in private, but if they meet over Twitter, the whole world can watch as they try to win each other over.
That's just what happened with Torey Stachowicz and Ben Axelrod, and now the world is rejoicing over some very happy news.
It all started in late 2014 when Torey, a personal trainer, announced on Twitter that she wanted to go out with Ben, a digital producer.
I want to go on a date with @BenAxelrod

Ben seemed open to it and just like that, the ice was broken.
@toreydanae you buying?
— Ben Axelrod (@BenAxelrod) December 4, 2014
“@BenAxelrod: @toreydanae you buying?” Haha yes I will, your favorite place too
— Torey Stachowicz (@toreydanae) December 4, 2014
@toreydanae nah, if you're buying, you can pick. Just make sure they have chicken fingers.

@BenAxelrod done and done
— Torey Stachowicz (@toreydanae) December 4, 2014
Based on their initial exchange, they seemed to have the same humor and perhaps even the same tastes in food so it should come as no surprise that now, just over three years later, Ben asked Torey to be his wife.
And of course, he proposed on Twitter.
I want to marry @toreydanae https://t.co/gJxNBqyTNY
