It all began with a single swipe…. Elisa and Matthew met in May of 2022 through Bumble, an online dating platform (new to Elisa, so naturally she was apprehensive, but took a leap of faith). Their first date at Scofflaw Cocktail Bar in Chicago set the tone for something special. Matthew's kindness, thoughtfulness, and adventurous spirit quickly stood out—and the fact that he arrived early with a reservation earned him extra points! Instead of instant fireworks, something far better emerged: a steady, growing flame of connection and understanding that they’ve been stoking ever since. A connection that thrives on laughter, trust, and a sense of partnership that only gets stronger each day. Their relationship holds a pure childlike whimsy, ever-present both in quiet moments spent at home and breathtaking alpine hikes (even when Matthew drags Elisa out of bed at 4am to be the first ones on the trail and catch the sunrise views! It's always worth it). We are thrilled to celebrate our love with the people who mean the most to us and can’t wait to start this next chapter together. “The problem is, we look for someone to grow old together, while the secret is to find someone to stay a child with.” – Charles Bukowski
