After meeting on Hinge—defying all the odds of online dating—Tony and Kallie hit it off! Within the first few dates, they quickly discovered they had both grown up on the "East Side of the river" in the St. Paul area and had likely crossed paths many times over the years! After their first date in October 2023, they became inseparable, quickly blending their lives as it became clear this was something lasting. Tony met Kallie’s immediate family the same day she told them they were dating. Shortly after, the holidays arrived, and Kallie was introduced to the Gergen family during Christmas celebrations. When it came to friends, the couple introduced each other to their local Minnesota circles—often realizing they already knew many of the same people from growing up. They continued to meet each other’s friends from around the country at weddings, on trips, and whenever friends returned home to the Twin Cities. Since then, they’ve shared many highs and lows side by side: playing mini golf, traveling to numerous states and countries, spending weekends at the cabin, living together in two different apartments, spending lots of time with family and friends, exploring new restaurants, and making countless cherished memories. Now, they are beyond thrilled to continue building their life together and to celebrate their love with all of you!
