We met the modern way—thanks to a swipe right on Hinge while I was in North Carolina and he was in Georgia. What started as a simple match quickly turned into something special, and before long, we met up for our first date over hot pot. Between the laughter, great food, and instant connection, we both knew there was something different about this. From that night on, we’ve been pretty much inseparable—building a love story we never saw coming but couldn’t imagine any other way.
