Our Wedding

How We Met:

Like many relationships that started in 2021, ours began with a swipe on Tinder. We were freshmen trying to figure out college, and somewhere between classes and campus life, we matched.

What started as a casual first date quickly became something more. One date turned into another, and before long we were spending most of our time together. Over the next four years, we grew up alongside each other — balancing school, moving to a new town, gaining two fur babies, overcoming challenges, and somehow making it to college graduation.

What began as a simple swipe turned into a relationship that steadily and unexpectedly became the most important part of our lives. This wedding is proof that sometimes the person you meet by chance ends up being exactly who you were meant to find.
