OurLove Story

Dating in 2023 was no small adventure, but everything changed when we met on Bumble in early 2023. For Mallory, it was one last hopeful try. For Justin, it was his very first step into online dating. We matched with open hearts, and God gently guided us toward something beautiful. Our first date at Hexagon Board Game Café felt like stepping into our own little world. We laughed, we talked for hours, and we let our competitive sides peek through. Something warm and familiar sparked between us, and from that moment on, it was impossible to ignore. Since then, our relationship has been a mix of romantic moments, cozy evenings, spontaneous adventures, and an ever-growing collection of board games. Lilly the cat has been our tiny mascot from the beginning, watching over us with her usual combination of curiosity and judgment. Through it all, we have been so grateful for every chapter God has written into our story. On Valentine’s Day 2024, Justin brought our love of food and fun together with a homemade pizza. Hidden in the toppings was a ring-shaped design. Mallory did not notice it at first, which made the proposal that followed even sweeter and more surprising. We believe with our whole hearts that God brought us together at exactly the right time. Now we cannot wait to celebrate the next chapter with all the people who mean the most to us.
