Our love story

Hinge to Happily Ever After

Neil and I both met on the dating app Hinge, We lived a whopping 10 minutes away from each other and never met until we both randomly hopped on Hinge and eventually matched with each other. The Ironic part is his family were customers of his now work place, Safe and Sound Automotive, and they knew my mother and her business for a few years. It took us a couple months to fully engage talking to each other as my mother installed some major trust issues in me. I was not meeting a stranger on the internet because they could be a serial killer or something. So we started talking via Instagram for a few weeks, and then via the phone to Facetime. Then I started to let him in because we were talking every day. Neil's first attempt at swooning me was asking me to go on a date to Wendy's. I hate Wendy's. So I told him I was sick. But Neil persisted and then asked me to grab coffee and I said yes. We drove around, got some coffee and then made way to his exes house to steal back his Nintendo switch and I was pissed. First date ruined, that was until we got home and he leaned me up against the car and pulled me in close and kissed me and then I felt the fairy tale sparks feeling that everyone talks about and the rest is history. I'm so happy I found someone as quirky as me and someone to love me for me like Neil does. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life together as a family.
