We're tying the knot!

We matched on Hinge, and after a few determined attempts, Madison finally convinced Ahna to meet for dinner at the iconic Thai Bamboo. The very next day, we both had to leave for work events, which kicked off a stretch of long-distance connection—FaceTiming, movie dates, and getting to know each other from afar. In the middle of that time apart, Madison needed a last-minute dog sitter. After only meeting in-person once, Ahna offered to watch Bodhi—and ended up falling in love with her before she fell in love with Madison. When we finally reunited for a second date—a weekend in Seattle—it just felt right, like we were exactly where we were meant to be. And the rest is history.
