Our Wedding

We met on Bumble in August of 2021. Our first date was at the Potawatomi Zoo in South Bend, IN. After our first date we got together one other time but decided to just be friends for awhile. I was just starting ultrasound and my grandmother had recently passed and Bradly was still adjusting to living alone. Bradly had said he would wait for me, which of course seemed silly at the time. Except he did wait for me. We officially started dating December 14th of 2021. We had been on the way to a work dinner for Bradly's job and decided to make it official. We saw each other almost every weekend, driving an hour and a half each way. We quickly fell in love and spent as much time as possible together. Towards the end of October 2022 we broke up, I moved up north and Bradly stayed in Indiana. After a bought of bad luck on Bradly's part, I like to say it was fate at work, we got back together in January. We did long distance for awhile. Our most memorable trips being me driving down after getting off work at midnight and Bradly driving up in a horrible ice storm. We couldn't stay apart. We talked about moving closer together. Visiting the idea of him moving up north or me moving to Indiana. Thankfully my job is easy enough to move with and we quickly found an opening in Fort Wayne. I quit my job and moved down in a weekend with the help of family. Bradly took a surprise trip up north in a day to meet with my parents, that's about 9 hours of driving in a day. A couple months later we went on a surprise trip to Tahquamenon Falls. After dodging everyone in the park Bradly found a quiet spot to nervously ask me to marry him. Despite forgetting to kneel, I said yes. I moved jobs again and Bradly and I moved in together. We have since been content living in LaGrange together but are excited for our future. Between moving this year and getting married, 2025 will be a year to remember. We are so thankful you were all there for us along the way!
