We met in the most modern of ways – on Hinge, of course. Neither of us expected much of our first date after meeting online, but fate clearly had other plans. After a few cocktails, bowling, and bonding over shared music taste, it was obvious there was a connection. The first few dates were filled with laughter and ease, like two people who had been waiting their whole lives for this. As we got to know each other more, we began to uncover one coincidence after another. Not only did we have mutual friends, but our parents grew up in the same neighborhood, and – most astonishingly – we had been baptized in the very same church. It was as if life had been gently guiding us toward each other all along, waiting for the right moment to let our paths finally cross. What began as a spark quickly became something deeper: shared Sunday coffees, walks with our dogs, steak dinners filled with teasing and warmth, and the quiet, steady feeling that we had found home in each other. Now, surrounded by family and friends, we will celebrate the beautiful truth that love always finds its way – sometimes through faith, sometimes through friends, and sometimes, yes, through an app.
