I downloaded Tinder on a whim one night with a couple of my friends. We spent the evening picking out photos and working on our profile. After having the app for a few weeks and only having unsuccessful dates, I decided to expand my search to 60 miles. Little did I know that my future husband lived exactly 60 miles away from my home. I was immediately interested in Mitchell when his profile appeared, so of course I swiped right. We matched that same evening and he messaged me right away. After one week of talking, he asked me on a date. I remember being so excited that he was willing to make the hour and a half drive to come meet me. We met in downtown Florence, had dinner at Ricatoni's and spent the rest of the evening seeing different Florence landmarks. We walked through the campus of UNA, where we saw Leo and Una, the lions. We then went to see the fountain at Wilson Park, as well as the marina at McFarland Park. Neither of us wanted the date to end, so we shared a strawberry lemonade at Wendy's since it was the only place still open. He then dropped me off at my house. I was hopeful that there would be another date before too long. I guess he was thinking the same thing considering he called me and asked me out again before I could even get in the door of my house. After many 60 mile trips to Florence, Mitchell asked me to be his girlfriend on June 28, 2019. On July 4, 2021 at the Wilson Park fountain, Mitchell asked me to be his wife, to which I happily said YES! And on June 4, 2022, Mitchell and I will say our vows to each other in front of friends and family and officially be Mr. and Mrs. Mote! I knew that I might find some dates on Tinder, but I never imagined I would find a husband and two bonus babies. I am so thankful that God sees me fit to be Mitchell's wife and a bonus mama to two sweet little ones.

I initially downloaded Tinder in hopes of meeting new people. I was essentially married to work and didn’t really make time to form connections with people. I remember coming across Ally’s page and thinking she had the most beautiful smile. I swiped right not knowing that she had already swiped right on me. We had an immediate connection. The conversations we had were so easy. Within the first week, I asked her on a date to Ricatoni’s not knowing that it would be the last first date that I would ever have. Over the next two years, she showed me how much of an amazing woman she is. I knew I did not want to live my life without her, so I asked her to marry me and she said yes! Melody and James are so lucky to have her in their lives, but I’m even luckier. I cannot wait to call her my wife! There’s no one else I’d rather have beside me for the rest of my life. I love Ally so much and cannot wait to see what is next in our adventure as Mr. and Mrs. Mote!
