We met on Hinge, yes, the app that's "designed to be deleted", and it turns out they were right! After a few messages that quickly turned into paragraphs, we realized we had more in common than we expected. Our first date was at In-N-Out (classy, we know), and from the moment we sat down, there was an undeniable spark. Timing wasn't quite on our side, and life had a few things to sort out first, so we went our separate ways for a while. But some connections are worth the wait. A little over a year later, we decided to give “us” a real shot—and that decision led us to something more beautiful than we ever expected. What started as a casual first date turned into a relationship filled with laughter, growth, adventure, and love that feels like home. Now here we are, excited to start forever! Even more excited to celebrate with all the people who mean the most to us.
