Hinge - The App Meant to Be Deleted

We Met (Online)

Chad was living in Fort Wayne and Emily had just moved to Coldwater for her job. Hinge connected us! We matched and talked about our dogs, our jobs, and how much we both love to play euchre (and kick butt at it)!

Our First Date

September 23rd, 2020

After talking for over a month, we finally met in person. Our first date was at JT's in Coldwater. We had dinner, went for a walk, and can both agree we didn't want the night to end! We instantly knew there would be a second date.

Officially Dating

October 10th, 2020

Our first year of dating was long distance, but we made it work! We went back to JT’s several times, went to the Fort Wayne Zoo, and watched LOTS of football.

We're Engaged!

December 1st, 2022

We took a trip to Indianapolis and got dinner at St. Elmo's Steakhouse. On the way back to our Airbnb, Chad proposed at Monument Circle. We couldn't have been any happier!

Mr. and Mrs.

June 1st, 2024

We can't wait to share our special day and dance the night away with you!
