Reception

Our Wedding

It all began when we matched on Hinge. We quickly decided to meet in person, and on December 29, 2023, we had our first date.That first date took place at Loco Pez, where we clicked immediately. We split nachos and drinks, talking and laughing as we discovered how much we enjoyed each other’s company. It didn’t take long to realize we had something special.As we spent more time together, we found that we shared a deep connection, not just over our favorite shows or our love for exploring new places, but also in the way we brought out the best in each other. Stephanie opened Francis up to new foods and experiences he never would have tried on his own, and with every new adventure, we grew closer.One of the most rewarding parts of our journey has been meeting each other’s families and friends. Their support and love have made this experience even more special, and we know it will continue to be for the rest of our lives.Fast forward to June 29, 2024—a day we'll never forget. Surrounded by the beauty of Morris Arboretum, Francis got down on one knee and asked Stephanie to spend the rest of her life with him. Her initial reaction was a thrilled scream about how pretty the ring was, followed by a heartfelt "Yes!" and just like that, we knew we were meant to be together forever.Now, as we prepare to celebrate our love with all of you, we can't help but reflect on how grateful we are for the journey that brought us together. We can't wait to start this new chapter as husband and wife, and we're so excited to share our special day with the people we love most.
