Once upon a time (okay, July 2022), Adam and Brittany—two East Coasters who had unknowingly been orbiting each other in Los Angeles since 2008—finally crossed paths thanks to a little app called Hinge.

What started with a swipe quickly turned into something magical, despite life’s best attempts to complicate things. With upcoming work and personal travel, the first three months of dating felt a bit like a long-distance relationship. But where there’s a will, there’s coffee, sushi, and breakfast dates—all strategically sprinkled between flights and intercontinental FaceTime calls. They were determined to get to know each other as quickly as possible.

As native East Coasters, Adam and Brittany had more in common than just their zip code. They both grew up with a fierce loyalty to Philly sports teams, which became a comforting through-line in their early conversations. Their shared love of travel, adventure, good food, and (let’s be honest) shopping sealed the deal.

But no story of Adam and Brittany would be complete without mentioning their beloved Augie—the adorable pup who quickly became the third pea in their pod. Together, the three of them make up a small but mighty family, full of love, laughs, and dog cuddles.

Now, after a whirlwind romance that feels like it was always meant to be, Adam and Brittany are excited to celebrate their next big adventure: forever. And they can’t wait to have all of their favorite people there to celebrate with them.
