Our love story sometimes sounds pretty ordinary when retold, but there is great beauty in the mundane. We were just two people, living their lives, starting their careers in the craziest time the modern world has ever known. We met through an online dating app, called Hinge. A classic "person-meets-person" story. From our very first conversation, everything just fit. We bonded over conversations of philosophy, nerd culture, music, traveling, and anything and everything else that brought us joy. Our first times meeting in person were surrounded by conversations of exposure risk and social distancing, leaving us apart for weeks at a time. Dates were virtual, texts were constant, and we, and the rest of the world waited. As restrictions ended, so did our distance. Being together was like breathing fresh air for the first time: effortless, and vital. Everything simply fell into place. Weekly date nights became daily, and soon enough, we weren't willing to let go. And now, we don't have to. We are so excited for this next chapter and to celebrate with both of our families as we begin ours. We don't know what the future holds, but we know that we are committed to working together to get through anything and everything life throws at us.
