It all started with a swipe on Hinge — a simple match that turned into something unforgettable. From the very beginning, our connection felt different. So much so, that our first date wasn’t your typical coffee outing — it was a spontaneous weekend trip to Philadelphia, where Chad traveled to meet Felly for the first time. That night, we shared our now-favorite cocktail, the Irish Trash Can, and somewhere between the energy drinks, laughs, and blue liqueur, something just clicked. It was the start of something unexpected and real. At the time, Chad was living in the NJ/NY area while Felly was in Philadelphia. Despite the distance, we made it work. Eventually, Chad moved to Philly, and we began building a life together — one filled with love, laughter, and a growing collection of shared memories. Since then, we’ve explored the world side by side — from the streets of London and Paris to the vibrant cities of Toronto and Calgary. We’ve taken in the natural beauty of Banff, soaked up the sun in Punta Cana, road-tripped through California, and adventured through much of the Northeast. Traveling together has become one of our favorite things — each trip bringing us closer and reminding us how much we love experiencing life as a team. We’re so excited to continue making memories and can’t wait for our next adventure — exploring new parts of the world together on our upcoming trip to Asia. One of those adventures led us to a moment we’ll never forget — Banff, where Chad got down on one knee, surrounded by mountains, snow, and the stillness of Lake Minnewanka. That’s where we promised to continue our journey — not just as partners, but as future husband and wife. From that first spontaneous trip to building a home together, our story has been full of laughter, adventure, and love. And now, we can't wait to begin the greatest chapter yet — marriage.
