Our Story
IT ALL STARTED ON A DATING WEBSITE. MOMMY ACCIDENTALLY SWIPED ON DOMS FACE. THEY STARTED TEXTING EACH OTHER FOR A FEW MONTHS THAT LED TO THEIR FIRST DATE IN JANUARY. MOMMY AND DOM WENT TO THE ARCADE WHERE THEY HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME THEY WENT FOR TACOS AT LOLAS AFTER. THEY STARTED TEXTING EVEN MORE AND THAT OCTOBER HE MET ME. IT WAS A SPECIAL NIGHT BECAUSE WE WENT TO OLA’S. (CAN YOU TELL MOMMY LIKES MEXICAN FOOD). CHARLIE GOT TO KNOW DOM A LITTLE MORE AND MOMMY GOT TO KNOW DOM A LOT MORE. BEFORE WE KNEW IT TIME PASSED AND THEIR LOVE GREW. NOW ITS 2025 AND TIME FOR “I DO.”
