Waitttttttt! You want the true story? We almost missed this love. Ours began with a swipe and match on Tinder that turned into weeks of genuine conversation. Swipe after swipe, disappointment after disappointment we both were very close to deleting the app for good. Somehow we must’ve clicked a different button the day we matched, because we got forever! We matched, talked endlessly and finally met in person. November 18, 2023 I was at a wedding at Gateway Park, and he came to pick me up — smooth, right? He picked me up and we headed to his best friend’s house to watch the Alabama game. It was cold, and without hesitation, he gave me his hoodie, a small gesture that meant everything. From that night on, we’ve been inseparable. Even with him working out of town often at the beginning of our relationship, we’d stay on the phone for hours, building a bond that only grew stronger with time. What began with a swipe turned into the love of a lifetime that we both prayed for, and now we’re ready to say "I do."
