We like to tell people we met in a cozy little bookstore, reaching for the same novel like fate had its own rom-com planned… but the truth is, we found each other on Hinge. And thank God we did. He officially asked me to be his girlfriend on Friday the 13th — September 13th, 2024 — which feels perfectly on-brand for two people who thrive in chaos and dark humor. From that moment on, we were inseparable. Friends who know Genevieve weren’t surprised when she started calling him “my husband” by week one. We survived hurricanes together, he instantly became a stepdad to four chaotic fur babies (two cats and two ferrets — Moose, Momo, Stink, and Cinnamon), and despite being allergic, he chose love… and allergy meds. From Disney World — where we got engaged on August 17th, 2025 — to lazy couch days at home, to deep talks about life, faith, and what our future could look like, our story has always felt bigger than coincidence. We grew closer to Christ together, built a foundation rooted in faith and family, and started dreaming about our next chapter: buying a home with land, raising babies, and creating a family compound where everyone can be close. We may not have met in a bookstore, but our love story turned out better than anything we could have read. And now here we are — ready for forever.
