Our story began in October 2020, thanks to a little matchmaking by Hailey’s roommate at the time, Emma, and Tony’s friend, Johnathan. They met on Tinder, hit it off, and soon introduced us. Our first date was actually a double date with Emma and Johnathan (who are now married too!) at Suter’s Corn Maze in Pandora, Ohio. Admittedly, our first date wasn’t exactly a fairy tale—things were a bit awkward. But, we laugh about it now! As we continued to spend time together and get to know each other, everything clicked, and the rest is history!

In June 2023, we took our first vacation together to the beautiful Turks and Caicos Islands. By then, we had been dating for nearly three years and living together for a year. We had talked about marriage before and knew it was something we both wanted. One evening during our trip, Tony planned a romantic private dinner and, as the night unfolded, he popped the question. Afterward, we celebrated with Champagne and danced the night away!
