We met on Tinder after both swiping right, even though we lived ~90 miles from each other. We started talking on June 24th, and after hundreds of hours spent driving back & forth, moving to a new state, a beautiful baby, and a life we’ve built together, 3 years later & we’re ready to turn the Tinder matches into The Hatch’s
We had decided to go down to my hometown the weekend before our one year anniversary for a festival where a favorite local band would be playing. We enjoyed ourselves at the festival and halfway through the bands performance they were doing a cover of “Single Ladies” by Beyoncé, and they were passing out ring pops to “put a ring on it”, Austin got down on one knee and literally put a ring on it, and asked me to marry him. Of course I said yes, because here we are planning our wedding. The band noticed and made an announcement congratulating us, and it was perfect.
