In December 2022, Anthony and Abby matched on Hinge—just as Abby was about to take a break from dating apps and Anthony was bravely reentering the dating world. Perfect timing. They met for a casual Wednesday night at Pure Taqueria, where shy glances, laughter over each other’s jokes, and a mutual love of Mexican food quickly set the tone. Despite wondering how their differences might work—Anthony favoring sports and documentaries, and Abby preferring crafts and fiction novels—they couldn’t ignore the genuine kindness and desire to learn more about one another. As they spent more time together, they realized just how much they had in common: similar upbringings, shared core values, a deep love for family, and the same outlook on life. Soon after, they attended their first church service together, which happened to feature a sermon on “True Love.” (God has a sense of humor.) From that moment on, they knew what they had was something special. As they say, the rest is history.
