Imagine it - February 2023. On this particularly dreary day, Stephanie had a sudden bright spot - she came across a profile on Bumble of a strikingly handsome man with impeccable fashion sense, who claimed to have quite the dance moves. Having the gift of rhythm herself, she was intrigued to see if this man Michael could keep up with her on the dance floor and on a date. On his end of the app, Michael was alerted that a beautiful girl with great cheekbones and an amazing sense of humor sent him a message. Excited about this prospect, Michael was a little confused by her location. Stephanie was in the area for work that day and showed up within a 15 mile radius from his home in Hawthorne. Thinking she was a local, he soon found out that she lived over an hour away in Englishtown (at the time Stephanie fondly called the commute a "short 50 minute drive" which Michael soon found out, in all actuality was about 70) and to make matters worse, she was an Eagles fan. Not one for long car rides or Philly sports, Michael took a leap of faith and kept the conversation going. They had an instant, genuine connection and spoke to each other every day from the time they matched. After two weeks, they had their first date at Allendale Bar & Grill. Stephanie was running late, as always and Michael was patiently waiting, as always. There was an immediate comfortability between the two, so comfortable in fact, that Stephanie ordered a cheeseburger and fries - a bold choice for a first date. After that night, they both knew, there was no need to look for anyone else. Ever since that first Friday date, Michael and Stephanie saw each other every weekend. After one full month of dating, Michael officially asked Stephanie to be his girlfriend and their connection for one another continued to grow from that day on - so much that now you're on their wedding website! Call it luck, coincidence or divine intervention, but the fact that these two matched with each other out of millions of people on those apps is a testament to everything happens when the time is right. For the past two years, they've been making memories, building a life with each other and continuing their love story - and all of these things includes you.
