Our Wedding

On a boring night in October of 2019, Hannah began swiping through Hinge. Little did she know, a tall and handsome guy she's seen many times at what used to be XSport fitness would pop up. She hesitated as she was not sure if he knew who she was. And how embarrassing would it be if they both knew she tried to make a move and he rejected her. She let her anxiety win, as she sometimes does, and left him in dating app limbo. Or so she thought. A few days later, she picked up the phone again and to her surprise the same tall and handsome guy showed his smiling face on her screen again. This time, she threw caution out the window and swiped right while holding her breath. The next day while she was at work, she noticed that he had made one of the best decisions of his life. And what some may say was the smartest. HE SWIPED RIGHT. She noticed she had a message from the guy she now knew as Mike that asked her if she went to the same gym he did. We all knew the answer, he was just trying to play it smooth which to no one's surprise worked. And as they all say, the rest is history ;).
