Our Story

In the midst of 2020, amidst lockdowns and social distancing, Tyler, an engineer, and Aimee, a chiropractor, found each other on Hinge. Both living in Cleveland, Ohio, they were searching for a spark of light and connection during a time of uncertainty. Tyler came across Aimee's Hinge profile. Her warm smile and the twinkle in her eyes instantly caught his attention. Her passion for holistic health and travel intrigued him, as he too was an avid traveler and a self-proclaimed foodie. After messaging for a few weeks, Tyler planned their first date, which was drinks on the patio at Georgetown, in Lakewood, Ohio. Drinks turned into apps, which turned into dinner, which turned into more drinks. Conversation flowed effortlessly, and they felt an immediate connection. As the world began to open up, Tyler and Aimee's adventures began. Their love for travel blossomed, and they started planning trips together. Aimee already had a dog, Luna, who instantly took a liking to Tyler. In Feb 2021, they got a puppy together, Stella. Their blended canine family added an extra layer of joy (&amp;stress) to their relationship. Their love continued to deepen over the years as their lives became intertwined. In June 2023, while on a trip to Belize, Tyler proposed. On a catamaran in San Pedro, with the turquoise waters of the Caribbean as their backdrop, Tyler got down on one knee and proposed. Aimee, without hesitation, said yes! The picturesque beaches and warm sunshine perfectly matched their vision of a romantic, tropical wedding. They decided to tie the knot in Longboat Key, Florida on November 9th 2024, surrounded by friends and family who have witnessed their beautiful journey from that first Hinge message to a lifetime of love and adventures together.

Alex and Aimee go way back... All the way to 1990 when Aimee was born and Alex was unsure about the attention in the household being shared. As sisters, they were thick as thieves or on the verge of killing each other, but both of those things make for great stories that we can all laugh about now. Alex and Aimee share a love of golf, traveling, dogs, good food, cocktails and carpool karaoke!
