One swipe. That’s all it took to find their person. Dani and Joe lived in Mineola their entire lives yet never knew of one another. Their paths have crossed in the most unexpected ways, from being featured in a news article together or being in the same middle school together. Dani and Joe grew up not knowing that one day their forever only lived a few blocks away. They say love works in mysterious ways and with both of them not taking Tinder seriously, they decided to have their first date at a Starbucks. That’s all it took. Love at first sight is rare and sometimes seen as a fantasy but not for Joe and Dani. When they met they knew. They have found their person. One swipe turned into a forever. - Written by Joe
A little fun fact is that Joey did not know the line "We can live like Jack and Sally if we want" in Blink-182's song "I Miss You" referred to Jack Skellington and Sally from Dani's favorite childhood movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas. Upon learning the reference and Dani's love for halloween, Joey told Dani "We will always live like Jack and Sally" and showered her with halloween trinkets. He even got her a Jack Skellington Christmas stocking for their first Christmas! With our love for fall and continuous references to Jack and Sally throughout our relationship, it was only fitting that we have a Hallowedding! - Written by Dani
