Like many modern romances, ours began with a swipe—right in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. We matched on Tinder, but we didn’t meet in person for nearly four months. When we finally did, it was truly love at first sight. From that moment on, we were inseparable, making the trip back and forth between Kennesaw and Auburn nearly every weekend just to see each other. Of course, our love story wouldn't be complete without Archie, our sassy but adorable corgi. He was very cautious of Tim at first, but over time they became inseparable best friends. Now, they’re so close that they bicker like an old married couple. Our cats, on the other hand, took to Tim immediately and have adored him from day one. Clearly, they knew a good one when they saw him. We spent two years doing long distance, learning patience, building trust, and counting down the days until we could finally be together again. In 2022, we moved in together and started the next chapter of our lives—filled with laughter, dog hair, and all the little things that have made this journey so special. Now, we can’t wait to say “I do” and celebrate this next chapter with all of you in Italy!
