The Wedding Website of Rachel Whiteman and Miles Shanker
Question

What's your story?

Answer

Rachel: We met on Hinge, the way any modern love story starts. He liked me first. Miles: I liked a picture of her hiking on a glacier in New Zealand--she seemed fun and outdoorsy [LOL]! R: Got 'em! M: She deliberated for a week or so if she wanted to "match" with me. R: I think it actually took me a month to decide if I wanted to "like" him back...He seemed so nice! And kinda nerdy. Not the type I had dated before. M: And I had months to dispel you of that notion ;-) R: ... sure. We matched during COVID, so we had four months between first swipe and first meeting, and we finally met for our first date at a tiki bar on the Upper West Side. M: I was so nervous I downed the first Piña Colada in 10 seconds flat. R: It was very cute. And clearly the "outdoorsy girl" ruse worked because I got my first date! M: And now we're getting married! R: Turned out we had a lot in common including the fact that we both HATE hiking. We were (and still are!) obsessed with movies; we even listened to the same movie podcast. We love seeing Broadway shows, going to sleep before 10:00, and we looove food. M: Particularly Sunday morning bagels and the perfect hot dog. R: UGH I love hot dogs! And I love you! M: I love you too! And we're so excited to share that love and celebrate with all of you!
