We both joined Match in 2022 in hopes of finding a friendship that would possibly bloom into something more. We began messaging each other on the website in March of 2022. After a few days of sending messages, we spoke on the phone and had an instant connection. We were on the phone for hours at a time and both of us had sore faces from smiling so much. We planned a date to go axe throwing and have dinner at Oaken Barrel on March 22nd but chose to meet in person for brunch at Denny's on March 21st since we were both free. We now refer to our first planned date as our "First, second official, date". It was during that date that we both felt an undeniable spark that lead to the love we have today. We are beyond blessed to have found a friendship and life-long partner in each other and can't wait to begin our journey as husband and wife.
