Once upon a time, in a world full of swipes and emojis, Erin and Brennan's love story unfolded. Connected through the dating app Hinge, and after their first in-person meeting on January 7, 2020, they realized they were a perfect match. Their adventurous spirit led them to Niagara Falls on Valentine's Day, where amidst the misty wonders of the falls, Erin beat Brennan to the punch and they officially decided to start dating. 📱❤️

Just when Erin and Brennan's love story was about to hit its stride, COVID-19 decided to crash the party and NYC went into lockdown. The new couple never had a conversation about what this meant for their relationship, they just knew whatever curveball was thrown their way, they would face it together. Their first stop during COVID lockdown was to Myrtle Beach, SC where Erin met Brennan's mom & mom's side of the family for the first time. (No pressure, right? 😬👋)
