We met the "old fashioned" way on the dating app called Bumble in October 2021.

Our first date was at "Mini Big Putt" in Wicker Park, where we shared beers and played a round of mini-golf and...well.. you guessed it.. we liked each other. Mini-golf led to a second date at the Blackhawks game, a third date at Mart Anthony's Italian Restaurant, and so on and so on...

As we got to know each other more, we were so lucky to share in so many adventures together and along the journey quickly learned that we both loved to try new things, visit new places, ski, run half marathons, and take Chief (Dan's Chocolate Lab, who has now become our Chocolate Lab) on walks through different neighborhoods.

On March 9, 2023, Dan popped the question on the Chicago Riverwalk and since then we have never looked back.

We truly cannot wait for this next adventure together as two best friends who will happen to be husband and wife... and cannot wait to share in celebration with our friends and family!

XO,

Joy & Dan
