Short Version: We met on a dating app (we know. insert eye roll here). Fell in love on the first, magical (gag) date and now here we are getting married! Long Version: Ask us later. It's cheesy.

HIM: I was bored at work, playing on my phone while waiting for my life to change. So, I opened up the Bumble app and that’s when I saw her. A gorgeous ginger! I swiped right and anxiously awaited for the “you matched” sign that NEVER came. I waited and waited and a few days later my phone buzzed with a notification. THE GINGER MATCHED WITH ME! Then, I waited patiently again for her to make the first move and initiate the conversation (Bumble Rules). HER: wait, wait, wait. Was it really a few days? HIM: Uh yeah. I remember. HER: Hmmmmmm. Sure. Him: Then, it finally came. “Hi”. That’s it. I responded immediately. And then had to wait ANOTHER three days for her to respond and even then it was “sorry! Haven’t been on here for a few days!” HER: Whoa. you know the details! HIM: And then it was basically magic! We talked all of the time. But we did have a bit of trouble trying to arrange the first date because our schedules are opposite. HER: Okay, so from my perspective it was a bit different. We matched but I wasn’t sold on dating apps anyways (aside from group entertainment at work dinners), so I didn’t get too invested too early. He was cute, in the Air Force, AND HE HAD A GREAT PYRENEES DOG IN HIS PHOTO. Can you blame me for swiping right? I forgot I had to initiate the conversation. SORRY. HIM: It’s okay. I forgive you NOW. But you know that it’s your fault we missed out on WEEKS of being together :) HER: Right, right. So, we finally figured out our first date - lunch at El Matador because you are an Ogden Newbie and he loves Mexican food. HIM: WE love Mexican food. HER: Yes, honey. WE love Mexican food. So anyways, we have this lunch date planned and then he BAILS. To be continued...

HIM: No. I didn’t bail! Work changed my schedule on a FRIDAY. WHICH IS SUPER WEIRD. But it all worked out okay because we ended up going to a late movie that night when i got off work early. And you showed up EARLY to that movie, like 40 minutes early. And you don’t show up early to ANYTHING (which i didn’t know at the time). HER: Well yeah. I was excited! AND YOU SHOWED UP 40 MINUTES EARLY TOO, SIR! HIM: Of course. We’d been talking for 2+ weeks at that point. Our first date was overdue! HER: Way overdue. So, i am waiting at the movie theater entrance. Trying to play it cool and looking at my phone waiting for him to show up. HIM: You totally were playing it cool! I saw you there with your red hair and all of the nerves melted away.. (her: GAG). Then, we started talking since we were there SO early for the movie and walked in on the cleaners from the previous showing. And, we almost missed our movie showtime because we were talking. It was the most natural conversation of my whole life. HER: It was the easiest and best date ever. We watched the movie. He worked some magic and somehow started holding my hand without it being a whole production and it just worked. Easily the best move i’ve even seen and i can’t hardly remember the movie. (insert eyeroll here). HIM: It was fantastic! I don’t really remember the movie either but it was the best. Then, I walked her to her car (while holding her hand) and we had our first argument about actual keys in the ignition or automatic key fobs! To be continued...

The last bit.., HER: Ridiculous and silly but it was awesome. (and, real car keys are the only way to go.) HIM: We agreed to table that argument! Anyways...before she got into the car, I refused to let her hand go and pulled her in for our first kiss. And, that was it. I knew. She was THE ONE. HER: Oh man, that is SO CHEESY! HIM: But it’s so true! HER: Well yeah. Of course. And then on the way home he stopped me at a stoplight and offered to fix my broken tail light - that’s when I knew! HIM: Really? That was it for you? HER: Yep, I fell so hard right then. I tried Facetiming my friend afterwards to tell her about the whole date but she didn’t answer (it was 2 hours later for her), so i sent her a video message and was all starry-eyed telling her that I was in MAJOR TROUBLE. HIM: Yeah, we kinda freaked all of our families and friends out. It all happened fast. HER: It’s perfect! And now, we are GETTING MARRIED!!!!
