Lam and Thomas’ love story began in an unexpected yet modern way—on the dating website Hinge. Their connection was instant, and after several conversations filled with shared laughter and a growing sense of ease, they decided to meet in person. In November of 2022, they had their first date at Koi Ramen in Salina, Kansas. Over steaming bowls of ramen, they discovered even more common ground, setting the stage for a budding romance. Their relationship blossomed over the next few months, and in April of 2023, the couple took their first trip together to San Diego. The coastal scenery and adventure-filled days created lasting memories, but it was Thomas’ heartfelt gesture that made the trip unforgettable. Amid the sunshine and ocean breeze, Thomas asked Lam to officially be his girlfriend—a moment that solidified their bond. For the next few months, Lam and Thomas navigated the challenges of long-distance dating, their commitment only strengthening with time. They knew they wanted to build a life together, and in October of 2023, they made a big step: moving to Norfolk, Nebraska to share a home. The move marked the start of an exciting new chapter filled with shared goals and dreams. In the summer of 2024, life brought even more joy. On June 30, Lam and Thomas discovered they were expecting their first baby. Just one month later, on July 30, 2024, Thomas got down on one knee and proposed, marking yet another milestone in their incredible journey together. On January 28, 2025, they welcomed their baby boy, Arlo, into the world, bringing even more love and light into their lives. Together, Lam and Thomas enjoy spending their days cuddling with Arlo and their cat, Murphy, watching movies and shows, solving puzzles, traveling, and cherishing moments with loved ones. Their journey of love, adventure, and mutual support eventually led them to their wedding day—a celebration of the partnership they had built and the future they were creating together. From a serendipitous first date to building a life side by side, Lam and Thomas’ story is a testament to love finding its way. They thank you from the bottom of their hearts for your love and support as they celebrate their next chapter together.
