The map on the app contained several location points and a video showed up every time Jeannie reached that location.  The final point in the scavenger hunt was at Dolores Park.  The locations of each clue formed the shape of a heart symbol.  At the top of a hill at Dolores Park, Haggerty proposed.  “I kind of had a feeling,” stated Choe. “When I first saw the app I knew what was going to happen.”  When the two started dating about two and a half years ago, Haggerty gave Choe a necklace containing a <3 symbol.

Haggerty, 27, learned a lot of his coding skills from his job at LinkedIn.  Haggerty works there as a user interface designer.  Choe is currently an industrial designer.
