Their story begins through mutual friends, having met once or twice within a group setting. But they didn't start a relationship until they matched through online dating in September 2019. Adelia wasn't wholly convinced by the means, but the ends were justified when Stuart sent her a GIF that said, "Whale, hello there!" She's been hooked ever since. Their love of books and laughter, shared faith, and support for each other have seen them through many ups and downs. While they've not enjoyed a conventional dating relationship because of the pandemic, it didn't stop Stuart from asking her to marry him two years later or her from saying, "Yes!" Adelia and Stuart are so excited to renew their vows with friends and extended family! A long engagement was out of the question, so they're already hitched, but they still want to celebrate their marriage with loved ones in a safe environment. It'll be one year to the day after they committed to spending the rest of their lives together, and it's been nothing but books ever since.
