We're Eloping!

We’ve all heard that timing is everything, and our story is proof of that. Believe it or not, we were actually classmates in the same math class at Morgan State University years before we ever officially met. Back then, we barely spoke a word to each other! Fast forward to October 2020, when we crossed paths again on Hinge. Hayes reached out with a message so sweet and flattering that Simone couldn't help but respond. After a few days of effortless conversation, we decided it was time to see if there was a real-world connection. Within a week of that first message, we had our first official date at Mama's on the Half Shell in Canton. As we talked the night away, we quickly discovered that we were on the same page about everything that mattered—from our devotion to family and deep conversations to our love of fashion, food, and simply enjoying life to the fullest. We became inseparable almost immediately, acting as each other’s biggest cheerleaders as we navigated our careers and "leveled up" together. Within a year, we moved in together and continued building a foundation of support and motivation. Life was already wonderful, but it became even more exciting when we made the shocking and joyous discovery that we were going to be parents. We jumped into action, purchasing our first home and preparing for a new chapter. On Christmas Day 2024, Hayes made the holiday even more special by proposing, and in February 2024, we welcomed our beautiful angel, Halo Hunter, into the world. Navigating parenthood has been our most joyous adventure yet, and it has only strengthened our bond. We are so incredibly happy to finally make it official and become one, and we can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you!
