We met the very modern way: on Hinge. A few swipes and messages later, we thought we were just two people who happened to find each other at the right time. But turns out… we were very wrong. As we started talking, we realized our lives had been overlapping for years. We both grew up going to the same church (somehow missing each other), and to make it even better, his sister was on my kickball team. Yep, we were basically in each other’s lives without ever knowing it. The more connections we uncovered, the funnier it became. What felt like a simple dating-app match was actually the universe finally saying, “Okay, now you can meet.” So while Hinge gets some credit, it turns out our story started long before the swipe, we just needed the timing (and an app) to catch up.
