Char worked in the bustling restaurant industry in the West Loop. Brad worked in an office designing children's books. Both have demanding work schedules and did not have time to meet new people organically. This is where Hinge came to play. He swiped right. She swiped left. The universe had other plans and made her change her mind. Their schedules were still tricky so their first date was on a cold, January night. Pasta for dinner was a hit and bowling skills were tested. They kept talking and kept hanging out then they made it Facebook official. Little did they know that the universe had a viral plan (IYKYK). The world was shut down. Both lost their jobs, but not their sense of humor and their longing to spend time with each other. It was hard to start a long distance relationship with only being twenty minutes away from each other, but they made it work somehow. As the world slowly went back to normal, Char and Brad moved in together and grew their love for each other. They experienced great adventures together and ate delicious meals. After five years, two cats, and jeans that no longer fit, they decided to tie the knot. Thank you for coming along this wild ride, we love that you're here.
