We're getting married!

Nicole and Evun met in the most traditional way possible… on Hinge. Their modern fairytale romance—brought to them by an algorithm—truly is a tale as old as time. It just so happened that Evun had turned 28 that very day, while Nicole was 34. In a stroke of what they like to call "fate" (and what the app calls "filters"), Evun was at the absolute bottom of Nicole’s age range, and Nicole was at the very top of his. Destiny? Or just a well-calibrated age preference slider? You decide. Their first date was on Easter Sunday, right after Nicole got out of church. They met at Water Tower Kitchen, where Evun’s nerves were on full display—he did that blinking thing he does when he’s anxious. Nicole found it endearing. Lunch flew by, and neither of them wanted the date to end, so they extended it with a round of pool at Stevie’s Bar. A couple of hours and a few solid shots (pool shots, not tequila—this isn’t that kind of love story) later, they still weren’t ready to say goodbye. So, naturally, they headed to Santana Row for some BBQ at Sauced, diving into deep conversations about everything that mattered to them. When the night finally wrapped up, Evun walked Nicole to her car… and completely chickened out on the kiss. Nicole drove home convinced she had misread the entire day, only to get a text from Evun the moment he got home, gushing about how much fun he had. Crisis averted. From that day on, things moved fast—constant dates, endless laughter, and the undeniable feeling that this was something special. Just 90 days later, Evun got down on one knee and popped the question. Nicole, of course, said, “YES!”—and now, here we are, celebrating their perfect (algorithm-approved) love story.
