A Love Story that Started with a Swipe....and a Church

..and she exclaimed, "Thank God he looks like his pictures!"

In a world where swiping left or right can determine your fate, two brave (and bored) souls turned to Bumble on a Monday evening. Rose, a young woman from Louisville, and Stephan, a dashing young man in town for a trip with the Army, matched and decided to take a chance on each other. Their first date at Rose’s favorite restaurant was filled with awkward moments and texts to friends about how quickly this date was going to end. However, destiny had other plans for Stephan and Rose. They decided to head to church, and by "church" they mean the Holy Grale, an old church turned bar, for a second chance at love. As they sipped their drinks and chatted, they started to feel more comfortable with each other. They laughed and joked - even making light of their earlier awkwardness, Stephan's choice of driving a minivan to the first date, Rose's relief that Stephan wasn't a serial killer (according to Webster's, "serial" refers to more than three), and.... Bitcoin. After almost six long years and many cross country moves, they’re ready to head to the proverbial church (again) to tie the knot and start their next chapter together as husband and wife - along with their two furry friends, Thomas and Benjamin. So here’s to Rose and Stephan - proof that sometimes swiping right can lead to more than just a free meal.
