As any modern love story starts, Luke and Jess met on Hinge in April 2023. On that first date Luke will tell you he talked Jess’s ear off, but she didn’t feel that way at all. She remembers thinking she shouldn’t have high hopes (they met on hinge after all) but that it was definitely a great first date. Their second date was at Barcelona Wine Bar and when the waitress brought them wine to taste, they locked eyes and were immediately relieved to learn that they were both trash, and didn’t know how to actually taste wine and were going to take the bottle either way. They chatted at that table until closing time. Of course there were many more dates where each one brought them closer. They passed the tests of each of their friends and won the hearts of their families. In February 2024 they moved in together. While it was an adjustment, they learned each other’s habits and found the best way to partner together. In April 2024, they found their forever home after viewing just 4 and closed 3 weeks later. It was quite the whirlwind, but they felt incredibly lucky and grateful to be homeowners together. They have taken on quite a few home projects together and look forward to many more. In December 2024 Luke proposed on the Moody family Christmas trip in front of the Belagio Fountains in Las Vegas. They might not have won big at the casinos, but they left with the jackpot! In between all these milestone moments, Luke and Jess have enjoyed several road trips to Florida, New York, and even all the way to Maine! They are lucky to have to many friends to celebrate and family to visit on these roadtrips. They expect their wedding day to be full of love and happiness, and whole lot of FUN! Jess will probably also cry a lot, but she promises they are happy tears. Forever sure sounds great when you find the one! If you’ve read this far, we hope you know we are truly SO thankful to have you as a part of our special day. Much love, the almost Devins ❤️
