How We Met

Started with a swipe, sealed it with a strike.

Like many modern love stories, ours started with a swipe on Hinge. A few messages quickly turned into full-blown conversations, and before we knew it, we were making plans to meet in person. For our first date, we went bowling—because nothing says “let’s break the ice” like awkwardly wearing rented shoes and trying to impress each other with strikes (or at least avoiding gutter balls). There was plenty of laughter, a little friendly competition, and just the right amount of nerves. Taysha won the game (but only barely— Aaron insists it was beginner’s luck), but we both walked away with something even better: the feeling that this could be something special. Since then, it’s been one adventure after another, filled with love, laughter, and more than a few rematches at the bowling alley. We’re so grateful that a simple swipe led to something so meaningful—and we can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you.
