It was September 2018 when Cece and Derek’s love story first began, just 2 single thirty-somethings who happened to swipe right on Tinder in a hopeless place (Columbia, MO). After discovering a mutual love of fish and chips, Harry Potter, and dance parties, Cece and Derek became inseparable. There was one caveat-- Cece was moving to Texas in just a few short months. Derek began looking for jobs in the DFW area and found one early, leaving the couple in a long distance relationship for 4 months. Cece finally joined Derek in Texas after she completed her residency. They have been living happily in Fort Worth since July 2019. Cece and Derek now spend their free time playing tennis, traveling, spending time with their babies (Milo and Avery) and decorating their first home.
