We first crossed paths freshman year of college through a mutual friend. It was brief, and while there was an easy familiarity, the timing just wasn’t right yet. Years later, after college, we found our way back to each other — this time through Hinge, proving it does occasionally work. From the start, everything felt different. Conversation came easily, laughter was constant, and making plans felt natural rather than forced. Before long, our days were filled with weekend dinners at home, trying new recipes, exploring new places, and finding comfort in the small, everyday moments together. The more time we spent side by side, the clearer it became that this wasn’t coincidence — it was timing finally doing its job. What started as a missed moment turned into something that feels right in every way. We’re so grateful life brought us back together when it did, and we’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter with the people who have been part of our journey — and to continue doing life side by side. With love, Kiara & Tyler
