We're getting married!

Our story started with a simple swipe on Hinge—but it didn’t take long for us to realize there was something different about this connection. What first caught my attention was his “Two Truths and a Lie” prompt. I guessed the lie right away, and when he told me he was impressed, I joked that I grew up reading Nancy Drew, so I had a knack for spotting clues. That playful exchange turned into a real conversation, and soon after, he asked me out. “Let’s be like Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys and investigate a coffee shop,” he said. When the day of our date arrived, he showed up a little late, but for the best reason: he’d brought his roommate’s puppy, Churro, along for the adventure. From there, the afternoon just clicked. We talked for hours, laughing easily. As the temperature dropped, I started to feel the chill, and without hesitation, he offered me his jacket. I almost walked off wearing it—maybe his way of making sure we’d see each other again. As he walked me to my car, he asked, “Will I see you again tomorrow?” That question marked the start of something special—and I’m so glad I said yes.
