Our Wedding

Andrew was living the dream—or at least, he was about to. A fantastic job opportunity in California had him packing his bags and moving across the country to a city where he didn’t know a soul. What could go wrong? Everything. But hey, it was California! Andrea, on the other hand, had already made her big move a couple of years earlier. She left Peru for California, craving adventure and a fresh start. New culture, new experiences—what could be more exciting? Fast forward to their new lives in the same sunny county, where both found themselves navigating the wild, wacky world of dating apps. Hinge, to be precise. Because when you don’t know anyone, why not see what algorithms can do for you? After swiping through what felt like half the state, Andrew’s eyes landed on Andrea’s profile. It was a match! Their messages were a mix of banter and shared interests, the kind of back-and-forth that made them both smile at their screens like a couple of goofballs. They both had agreed the first date would be short—just a quick meet-up so they could get home early and prepare for the big meetings they had the next morning. But once they started talking, neither could pull themselves away. What was supposed to be a brief chat turned into dinner, then a stroll, then a long night of laughing and sharing stories. By the end of the night, they both knew something had clicked in a way they hadn't expected. Who knew it would happen thanks to a dating app, a cross-country move, and a leap of faith?
