The start of forever

A simple swipe right

Our story began in October 2021 — a simple swipe right on Tinder that turned into love at first sight. We quickly bonded over our shared love of Pokémon (and proudly compared our shiny collections!), our passion for music, countless hours of Call of Duty battles (for the record, I was the better player), and of course, our mutual love for animals. At first, I wasn’t entirely sure about Hendrik… but when he showed both concern and amusement during my impressive projectile vomiting incident around a traffic circle, I knew his kind of crazy matched mine perfectly. And somewhere between the laughter, late-night talks, and shared chaos — I fell in love with Dani. Since then, we’ve shared countless adventures, built our little pet family, and can’t wait to begin our forever chapter together.
