Casey and Erin met on the dating app Hinge in the fall of 2020, right in the thick of the pandemic. Casey sent the first message as a reply to a photo of Erin in roller skates. Fun fact: Erin doesn’t actually roller-skate. She just thought it would make a cute photo. Apparently, it worked. Their first date was a FaceTime call, which felt perfectly on-brand for 2020. While it may not have been the most romantic setting, it was exactly what they needed. After the call ended, Erin, White Claw in hand, ran to her mom and said, “I’m going to marry that guy.” From the very beginning, Casey and Erin connected over a shared sense of adventure. Casey has dreamed of going to the moon since he was a kid, and Erin had countless stories from her time living and traveling in China. They were immediately intrigued by each other and eager to keep learning more. Since that first FaceTime date, Casey and Erin have shared spontaneous road trips, cozy nights in, and a growing collection of new adventures. Their relationship has been filled with laughter, curiosity, and a deep appreciation for each other’s passions. Now, they are excited and ready to embark on their biggest adventure yet getting married and celebrating their love with family and friends.
