Our Wedding

We met the modern way — on a dating app called Hinge. What started as a simple match quickly turned into something neither of us expected. On June 21st, 2021, we had our first date at Bond Brothers in Cary, NC, and from the very beginning, there was an effortless connection between us.Just after that first date, life temporarily took us in different directions when one of us left for New York for two months. Even with the distance, we never stopped talking. Day after day, our conversations continued, and what began as excitement after one great date slowly grew into something deeper. The miles between us only made us more certain that what we had was special.From that first date in Cary to countless conversations across state lines, our story has always been built on connection, consistency, and choosing each other every single day.
