Our first date was on a chilly day, with the holiday season in full swing. We decided to go to a cinnamon roll shop, where I nervously—though I tried not to show it—asked Elena out before we went inside. She said yes, and what began as a simple winter outing quietly became the start of everything that followed. We sat inside to warm up and shared some dessert. Elena ordered a cinnamon roll topped with brownie bites, blueberries, and cream cheese icing. I chose a classic cinnamon roll with vanilla icing—nothing fancy. It was an easy, comfortable first date, simple in the best way. Since then, we’ve shared countless moments together, and sweets have somehow always been part of them. That first date made desserts feel meaningful to us, and it felt right for sweets to play a special role in our wedding as a reminder of how it all began.
