Our story began on November 15, 2021, when we matched on a dating app called Bumble. I kicked things off with a bold (and, apparently, memorable) question—"Do you sleep with socks on?" His answer? “If I feel like torturing myself” .. VALID —but little did we know, that quirky start was just the beginning of something special. Our first in-person meeting took place on a first Friday at Yard of Ale (RIP), a bar in downtown St. Petersburg, where Stephen got us green tea shots to take together (which is my least favorite shot but he didn’t know that yet haha). From that very first moment, we felt so comfortable with each other. Even after leaving the bars for the night we talked on the phone once we were home until 7am like we were back in middle school. Since then we've spent every weekend together to which quickly turned into every day. Here we are 4 years later getting married!
