A modern day love story via the romantic dating app known as Hinge. On our initial date both Katherine and myself felt a lack of spark, although the attraction was evident. I ended the first date by going for a kiss. A kiss, in which I was promptly denied. From there we began to date casually and to our reluctance a connection formed. We met in March 2021 and begin dating each other seriously in July 2021. A month later we were in a relationship and the following month we were in love. It was pretty apparent early on we both felt this relationship was going to result in marriage. The rest of the year was a whirlwind. Between a death in Katherine's family, buying a house together, renovating a house together, Miles starting his career, Katherine changing jobs, getting engaged, Miles beginning a travel Anesthesia job and driving across the country with our fur babies to Santa Fe, NM then to Atlanta, GA and finally to Melbourne, FL. Needless to say we went through a lot together in the first two years. But these trials and tribulations only made our connection and love grow stronger. And through this all, we were each other's rock, best friends, and soulmates. Everything was easier having the other one by our side. Going through it all still with the belly laughs that started our relationship.
