Our Love Story

Like many modern romances, ours began with a swipe.

We met on Hinge, just two people looking for something real in the middle of New York City. Our first date was at a cozy bar in the East Village called Little Rebel, on a night when the rain poured endlessly. But even with soaked shoes and frizzy hair, the night was perfect. Maggie, a California girl at heart, and Colby, a proud Atlanta native, somehow found their way to each other in a city that wasn’t home to either of them, but quickly became the home to their love story. In the chaos and beauty of NYC, we found something rare: a feeling of peace, familiarity, and the kind of connection you only come across once in a lifetime. After a few months of intentional dating, it became clear: this wasn’t just a spark...it was a homecoming. Life since then has been full of laughter, late-night talks, travel, growth, and plenty of unforgettable moments. But perhaps the most magical one of all was the proposal. Colby convinced Maggie she was heading to a work event, only for her to walk into the penthouse suite at the Ritz Carlton with rose petals, candles, and Colby standing there with watery eyes, waiting to ask her to be his forever. What we love most about our relationship is our communication. We talk, a lot! And it’s our honesty, patience, and willingness to work through anything together that makes our bond unshakable. This love feels steady, fun, safe, and full of purpose. And now we can't wait to celebrate the beginning of forever with all of you.
