Brooklyn's thoughts: Mitchell and I met on a dating app in the fall of 2019. Every time I mention the fact that I met my fiancé from a dating app, I can't help but laugh because that is something I never planned on happening! When we went on our first date we hit things off instantly! As my family and friends found out I was starting to go on dates with a 21 year old, everyone warned me to be careful otherwise I would end up getting married instead of serving a mission like I originally planned. Little did we all know that it would come true! Regardless, things always seem to happen exactly how they are supposed to. Mitchell's thoughts: Meeting on a dating app wasn’t what either of us would have ever expected, especially considering we were each using it as a joke haha. Our first impression of each other was nothing less than “ya, she’s hot" and “hey ya he looks CUTE!” which was followed by an immediate swipe to the right. When it finally came down to it, meeting up for the first time was way fun.
Brooklyn's thoughts: The first time I met Mitchell I knew that there was something different about him. He has always made me feel safe, comfortable, like I could be myself, beautiful, and happier than I ever was before. Not only does he have every single thing I could want in a husband, but he surpasses my wildest dreams. He has a smile and personality that brings joy to anyone he meets, determination like you have never seen before, a pure heart of gold, and he radiates the light of Christ. When you find someone as good as he is, you don't let them go. Neither of us are perfect, but we are perfect for each other. He makes me a better person and I can't imagine my life without him. Mitchell's thoughts: The first thing I would want anyone to know before reading this is by no means am I a poet, a writer, or any form of literate genius. But talking about Brooklyn will be nothing less than a tender hearted experience. Knowing she was the one wasn’t much of how I expected. It wasn’t in any way a single event that lead me to a decision. Instead, it was more of a process filled with tender mercies. Brooklyn isn't perfect, but throughout our journey I could tell she was perfect at trying. I found someone who could love me indefinitely. I know that the rest of our lives we can continue on this path we’ve started together.
