We met the good old-fashioned way...we both swiped right on Tinder. But how we met isn't the gem of this story. It's everything that comes after. From the many times we shut down restaurants and cafes just talking and laughing as time went by. To enjoying museums, and concerts together. To sitting and watching the sunset at 31st street beach on Chicago's southside. In all of this, we found our love, our values, our future. That same love has been there through big moves, losing loved ones, job changes, and making it through a global pandemic. All of this has shaped us to be the unit we are today. We know now that our love, friendship, and respect for one another is the gem of our story, and that's a story worth celebrating.
