Love stories begin in many ways, some of them involve climbing a tower and then being struck unconscious with a cast iron skillet by that person. Our story instead had a bit of a modern twist, one with Hinge and an algorithm that was on our side. June 6, 2023 was the day Selina first messaged Levi, and instantly they were sending paragraphs back and forth to each other. After a couple weeks they finally met for the most incredible first date on June 26. This day marked many first's: the day of hearing each other's voice for the first time, their first hug, their first kiss and the day they truly began to fall in love. They connected over their love for exploration, being in touch with nature, watching films and analyzing every detail afterwards, and most importantly sharing such similar visions for how they wanted their future to look like. After being in California for some time, Selina was given an opportunity to move to New York and finish her studies with AMDA, and they both made the decision to take that leap of faith together as a team and move to New York together in early 2023. They road tripped the entire way, traveling over 15 states seeing everything from the Grand Canyon to New Orleans and finally touching down in New York. From the ground up they've built up a life in New York, celebrating graduations, getting promotions, welcoming a gorgeous puppy named Nenya into our home, and the most significant of all is when Levi decided to propose to Selina on November 26, 2024 in Central Park. They eloped shortly after on December 6 in Prospect Park with a few loved ones in attendance.
