The first time Andrew and I connected was on a dating app called Tinder. We chatted back and forth for a short period of time, but never met in person. Soon after, I was getting impatient and disappointed with the app, so I decided to delete my account. Maybe a week later, Andrew found me on Facebook, oddly enough through a mutual friend. He would politely message me, reminding me he was still interested and wanted to go on a date. At this time in my life, I hadn't had a ton of luck with men/dating and found myself thinking true love was a hoax. After 5 months of persistently/patiently messaging back and forth, I came around and agreed to go on a date! We watched a movie together and drank wine. I remember laughing so hard my stomach hurt that night, but now to think of it, maybe it was just the butterflies? I knew right from the start that he was special for sure. When I drove home that night, he didn't waste any time to text me saying, "I had such a wonderful time. I wasn't sure if I should kiss you when you left, but I really wish I had. Hope to see you again very soon” - I have the screenshots to prove it 😍 Flash forward 5 years later and here we are! Groom and Bride to be! We’re a very silly couple who love to laugh and tease each other. His caring and loving nature has taught me what it means to truly love and trust someone. He’s without a doubt my best friend and we can't wait to celebrate the dawn of our new life together with all of you!
Brooke and I initially found each other on a dating app called Tinder. We had a few exchanges, then one day I opened the app and found that Brooke had disappeared from my list. I was personally going through a lot of physical issues that were affecting me mentally, so while I was pretty disappointed, I just assumed she got bored with me or with Tinder in general. I was upset, but she was always in the back of my mind. Maybe a week or two later, I was scrolling through Facebook and noticed Brooke as a recommended friend, I recognized her picture - she was too beautiful to forget. For the next few months, we messaged each other on occasion and had some flirty/fun conversations. I kept trying to get her to meet up for a date, but she was definitely playing hard to get... I didn't give up though. I was starting to really like her personality and I wanted to see that beautiful smile in person. One night out of the blue, she agreed to meet up, (probably had nothing better to do.) I had a bottle of wine in the apartment and we hung out watching bad movies while we drank and laughed our asses off together. I had not felt this way about a girl I had just met before - I felt like I had known her my whole life; like I was talking to a friend. As she was leaving, I was very nervous and hesitant to kiss her goodnight. I remember thinking after she left, that I needed to send her a message about how I felt and my intentions before someone else snatched her away. Now, 5 years later, I am living in a dream... I am about to marry my best friend and the love of my life. We are constantly laughing together and living as much of a carefree life as we can, while always supporting each other and flourishing in our love. She has helped me battle and overcome one of the hardest phases of my life so far, and I am so excited to start the next phase of my existence with Brooke!
