How We Met

First comes a dating app, then comes a concert

Once upon a time in the digital land of dating apps, where swipes and emojis reign supreme, destiny decided to play cupid and brought us together. It all started with a right swipe. Little did we know that the universe had even grander plans in store for us. As it turns out, we both had tickets to see ARIZONA concert in Charlotte that week. What are the odds, right? Vanessa had already planned to go with her friend Paige to the concert, but what's the harm in meeting the cute guy from Bumble if he shows up? He did show up and we hung out as a group and had a great time. However, we still needed to go on a first date. Our first date turned into a wild ride at the white water center, when everyone was knocked out of the raft except for us. We went rock climbing and stayed for the River Jam music concert that night. From that day on, we've hiked mountains, explored different countries, and enjoyed the past four years together. So here we stand, ready to embark on the most thrilling journey of all – a lifetime of love and laughter. As we tie the knot and say "I do," we want you to be a part of our incredible tale because without the support and love of our family and friends, none of this would be possible. Join us as we celebrate the day we say "I do." Cheers to love and a lifetime of new adventures together!
