We met on the dating app Hinge in 2020, during a time when meeting someone new felt a little unexpected—but from the very beginning, everything felt easy. Those first days and weeks after we connected were filled with constant smiling, laughter, and conversations that made time disappear. By the end of our first date, we both knew something special was happening. John quickly became my “I think I’m going to marry him,” and I was his “I’m done looking—she’s the one.” What started as a simple match turned into something undeniable. Since then, our relationship has been built on love, laughter, and a deep sense of knowing we found our person. We’re so grateful for how our story began and even more excited for all the moments still ahead.
