I guess you can say we swiped right! Mike and I were on a dating app called Hinge back in September of 2018. Luckily, the app knew my future best friend and soulmate was living outside the 25 mile radius parameter set within the app’s design. Mike and I matched and we instantly clicked. I’m sure you can imagine our surprise when we discovered not only did we not live within 25 miles of each other, we were actually 100 miles apart in different states! As I was telling myself “I knew it was too good to be true”, Mike said “I still want to give this a try if you will.” Our first date was in Elkton, MD- the halfway point between our houses (45 min drive for each of us). That night turned out to be my very last First Date.

Although we look forward to one day celebrating the next chapter of our lives with our friends and family, Mike and I have opted for an intimate exchanging of vows with only his daughter Brynlee present.
