It’s funny how life works sometimes—who would have thought you could meet the love of your life on a dating app? I’ll be forever grateful to God and Hinge for bringing Julia into my world.

She was the very first person I matched with online, and I sent her a “rose” (yes, I know, a little corny, but I was hopeful). She was also my first date from the internet. After our first outing—which involved more walking than she probably bargained for—I knew I didn’t need to meet anyone else.

Let me tell you about the magic of Julia. We kept it simple: a walk, tacos, and lots of laughs. She even caught me totally fascinated by spiders and rocking a look that could only be described as “youth pastor chic.”

Even though my vibes are a bit on the ultra-Christian side, there was an instant connection that felt deeper than I could have imagined. Julia’s compassion, her sense of humor, and the effortless joy she brings to every moment—it was impossible not to fall for her. And let’s not forget: her beauty, her Vans, and those cool hats had me head over heels in no time.

I’m beyond thankful to spend my life with the perfect woman, my best friend, and the one who makes every day feel like an adventure.
