Garrett and Erin met in August of 2024, with their introduction being virtual: Erin “liked” Garrett’s profile on Hinge. Yes, they are a Hinge Success Story™️ What followed was an intentional, earnest, and honest effort in getting to know one another. This meaningful progression took shape as many a coffee walk (featuring Bonnie), game night, and equal parts playful and deep conversations. Erin moved back to her homeland of the Northeast in September of 2025, and the two buckled up for long distance. It wasn’t (and isn’t) always easy, but their continued intentionality in staying part of each other’s lives — both virtually and through monthly-ish visits — has allowed them to stay grounded and hopeful, expectant of future togetherness. As they begin to close the (long) distance, they look forward to welcoming you into the next part of their relationship: the forever chapter. See you on January 9th for a night of celebration, joy, laughter, and love!
