We met like many couples do these days—on a fantastic dating app called Hinge—back in October 2019. But we truly believe our paths crossed long before that. Growing up just two towns apart in Bridgewater and Montgomery, we both ended up at St. Joesph's University (THWND), living only one floor apart for two years! On a memorable October night, we had our first date at a local favorite spot for trivia and pizza. Coincidentally, it was also Taylor's parents' anniversary—some might call that fate! Despite Taylor's two good friends crashing the date by sitting just two tables away, Chris was surprisingly unfazed and knew he was in for something special. From that moment on, we quickly became inseparable, a bond that only deepened when the world shut down due to a global pandemic. It was make-or-break it for a newly dating couple! We cherished our time together, binge-watching every episode of Live PD while pies baked in the oven and enjoying takeout adult beverages from around Philly. Our rescue dog, Bodhi, also fell in love with the arrangement, thrilled to have someone new to play with. Though those times were challenging for everyone, we feel incredibly grateful to have found each other just in the knick of time. Fast forward through the years, and we’ve shared countless dates, adventures in Philadelphia, and even Taylor's first trip to Europe, with Chris as her guide. In 2022, we moved to what we consider the best spot in the city, enjoying coffee walks with Bodhi, exploring the vibrant Philly food scene, and spending quality time with friends and family—not to mention proudly flaunting our exclusive Costco membership cards every few weeks! We are so grateful to have found one another and seamlessly fit into each other lives as it was always meant to be and now we are so excited to have you all along for our special moment and can’t wait to celebrate together!
