Our story began the way many modern love stories do-on a dating app. In December 2021, we matched while home for the holidays in Valparaiso. Funny enough, Hannah knew of Evan, but Evan had no idea who Hannah was. (Don’t worry, he caught on quickly!) After matching, it took us about three months to finally meet one another. Evan was knee deep in busy season, and Hannah was on a night shift schedule, making it difficult to coordinate our first date. Finally, on March 7, 2022, Hannah and Evan met for dinner while both living in Indianapolis. From that night on, everything just clicked. After a couple months of dating, Evan asked Hannah to be his girlfriend on June 25, 2022 in Bloomington at IU, unfortunately tying her to this university for life. (He knew what he was doing!) We spent the next year or so making the most of life in Indy together. We enjoyed trying new restaurants and planning weekend getaways together. We bonded over our love of college basketball and bantered about our friendly (or not-so-friendly) Purdue and IU rivalry. It wasn’t long before we realized that what we had was the real thing. Eventually, we made the decision to move back to Valparaiso. We bought a cozy condo, planted roots in our hometown, and have built a life surrounded by friends, family, and an amazing community. Now we’re getting married-and while we may never agree on which school is better, we do agree we’re better together. We can’t wait to celebrate with all of you!
