Who would have thought a "nothing is going to come from this" swipe right on Tinder would turn into a marriage? Certainly not us! As the story goes, I swiped right first. Paul had just downloaded Tinder (for the 2nd time) and I was the first profile that popped up for him. As he phrases it "I saw your profile and thought 'there is no way this girl matched with me'" and BOOM! As soon as he swiped right it was a match!" And as the movies say, the rest is history!

Paul suggested that an Old Town Alexandria brunch would be the perfect January Saturday morning date! We got down to Old Town 10 minutes before the restaurant opened so Paul suggested we take a walk around to "get our bodies used to the cold" (It was 26 degrees out that morning!). A simple, seemingly innocent stroll by the water turned into a tiny red box and the one question that changed our lives forever. There was a whole mess of tears, laughs, excitement and joy!
