Our Wedding

In a time where most of the world was still shut down Will decided to set out on a new adventure. An adventure that included moving down the shore with his best friend, Kevin, to have a summer full of fun with friends. Little did he know what would be coming within 1 week of his big move... During a similar time I was with some of my best friends, Megan and Kayla, having a girls night when they convinced me to join Hinge. Little did I know at this time that this decision would change the rest of my life. Casually scrolling on Hinge I came across a picture of a tall guy playing soccer and decided to heart the picture (YES, I made the first move!) Within a couple of hours he responded and introduced himself and before I knew it we were having full conversations. I was quick to learn that we had a ton in common and he waited no time from meeting to planing a date and inviting me down the shore a couple of days later. Without hesitation (but with sharing my location with multiple people) I said yes and a few days later we went on our first date! Not knowing this would be the last first date we ever went on! Quick into our first date we realized that there was something very special about the connection and comfortability we had with each other. One date turned into multiple dates and then into multiple trips. From times going to Sandy Hook to traveling up North to Maine.
