Our Wedding

<p>Dakota and Abby first connected on Tinder, hopeful to find someone with similar interests and values. After chatting for two weeks, they realized the potential their relationship could have. Dakota set up a first date at Salt &amp; Straw in which they enjoyed a scoop of their favorite ice cream and walked around the neighborhood on a sunny day in Portland. The connection proved to be effortless as they both were able to playfully discuss their interests in music and basketball, while also opening up about their life experiences, goals, and aspirations. The couple developed instant chemistry and a connection to build upon which led to several future dates. A month into seeing each other, Dakota then asked Abby to become his girlfriend and the rest was history.</p>
