Like many 2020 love stories, ours started in the middle of a pandemic—with a swipe and a lot of uncertainty. She swiped right on Bumble while exploring prospective colleges, and he showed up with humor, charm, and zero idea he'd just met his future fiancée. What started as light conversation turned into something real—virtual dates, deep talks, and support through the weirdest time in the world. Even miles apart, we found comfort in each other’s presence. From long-distance beginnings to building a life side by side, our connection only grew stronger. One swipe turned into a lifetime of love, laughs, and everything in between.
