We met the way so many modern love stories begin—on a dating app! One swipe, one message, and a connection that felt immediate. We matched on a Sunday. By Wednesday, we were sitting across from each other (well… next to each other, because a table between us just felt too far), and a week to the day after matching, we were officially a couple. Two weeks later, we had already looked at each other and said, “This is it.” From the very beginning, our relationship felt easy and oh so refreshing. That first date? Over six hours long. We closed down two restaurants (shoutout to those patient servers), and talked the whole way home. No awkward silences, no games, just a sense that we had stumbled into something rare. It wasn’t fireworks—it was warmth. Familiarity. The kind of connection that felt less like meeting someone new, and more like finally finding someone you’ve known all along. We wondered early on what our first fight would be about and how we were actually excited to find out. Not in a dramatic way, but because we couldn’t wait to learn more about each other and how we would show up for each other in the harder moments, not just the easy ones. Yes, we are that couple. In each other, we’ve found something we didn’t know was possible: true partnership. Stability, comfort, and the quiet joy of being fully seen and supported. That still amazes us daily. We ask each other questions constantly—Dawn, the scientist, can’t help herself; Matt, the coach, always digs deeper—and we love it. Whether it’s a hypothetical about the world or the simple “How are you really?”, learning about each other is one of our favorite pastimes. We say that we were “printed for each other.” Similar values, similar humor, similar love for our kids and community. We knew early on: this was home. So here we are—grateful, giddy, and a little smug (okay, a lot smug) that we found this rare and beautiful thing. And we can’t wait to celebrate it with all of you.
