Kasey and George’s story begins like many modern love stories do—through a dating app. Their serendipitous match happened on Hinge, and from the moment they connected, their conversations flowed effortlessly, as if they had known each other for years. After discovering many shared interests, mainly revolving around Spicy Margaritas and best New York pizza slices, they arranged their first date at Loverboy Bar in New York City on November 3rd, 2019. What began as a simple night out turned into an unforgettable night for both of them. The connection was so natural that one bar quickly turned into three, and they found themselves deep in conversation until the lights came on. Both Kasey and George left that night with the certainty that this was just the beginning. One date became two, two became five, and soon their bond blossomed into something extraordinary. Beginning their relationship as the world was shutting down due to COVID gave them the unique gift of time—days spent in each other’s company, deepening their love and understanding. As the world reopened, they began to explore all of New York City’s adventures (and restaurants!), spent quality time in FL with both Kasey and George’s parents in Anna Maria Island and Naples (both being sentimental places in their hearts leading to the wedding destination) and traveled - exploring new cities, sights and cuisines hand-in-hand. Though, no place has held their hearts quite like Greece, where George was raised. It has become a yearly tradition to explore its many islands and immerse themselves in its beauty and culture. Among all their travels, one trip stands out above the rest. In June 2024, before heading to Greece, they spent a few days in Paris. On a sunny Tuesday afternoon in the picturesque Luxembourg Gardens, they shared a picnic—one that would change their lives. It was there that George got on one knee and asked the question that would mark the next chapter of their journey together. The rest of their European adventure was spent in celebration, full of joy and anticipation for the life ahead—one built on laughter, adventure, and an unshakable love that began with a swipe.
