Our love story begins back in July of 2022, when an unsuspecting tinder match led to an inseparable bond that would bloom into a lifetime of love, happiness, and laughter. We were both new to Philadelphia that summer and had unknowingly moved just a few blocks away from one another. While each of us probably had different ideas of what Philadelphia had in store for us, it is certain that neither of us would have expected to find love that evening. What began with introductory line about our shared love for animals, quickly evolved into a night filled with Borat and Christmas Vacation- watching and giggling until the early hours of the next morning. It probably seemed too good to be true, or maybe just a bit insane on either of our parts by deciding to meet up with a total stranger after an hour or two of conversation, but the end result was one of the happiest nights of our lives. A few more dates and an adopted dog later, we made our bond official as boyfriend and girlfriend on September 7th, 2022. Together, we now plan to affirm our love by law in Ireland on April 11th and look forward to celebrating it with you all May 23rd. In these last 3 years and change, through our highs and hardships, there’s nobody either one of us could imagine going through this lifetime with. We have our new little slice of heaven in South Philly, our sweet doggy Mr. Winston, the Birds, and each other for the rest of our days. Here’s to us today and the rest of our days tomorrow!
