Our love story

We matched on Hinge. After a few days of talking and realizing we had a lot in common, Calvin asked me out on our first date. We went to Haven Beer Company, and it turned out to be such a lovely afternoon. You could say we matched in real life too. After that first date, we started spending a lot of time together, hiking, working out, and having dates at different restaurants. Everything was going so well. It felt like a love story was beginning… until, on our sixth date, Calvin told me he just wanted to be friends. But from that moment on, something changed. He became even more romantic, more thoughtful, and more interested in me. I didn’t take it seriously at first - I thought he might just be playing games. Little by little, he won my heart. Over time, we fell completely in love… and just a few months later, he proposed. You can say we're more than friends now ;) We’re so excited to celebrate this special moment with you and can’t wait to see you soon!
