Our Wedding

Like all great modern love stories, ours began with a swipe. In 2017, fate (with a little help from Tinder’s algorithm) brought us together. Neither of us expected much that evening—just another scroll, another profile—but when we matched, something felt different. Our first conversations were full of laughter, sarcasm, and just enough seriousness to know we’d stumbled onto something real. After a few days of chatting nonstop, Dan made the first move and asked Julie out on a date to the movies. Julie turned Dan down numerous times from nerves, but he was resilient. After roughly 3 reschedules we had our first date at the movies. That “casual” first date turned into hours of talking, discovering how much we had in common, and realizing how comfortable it felt to be together. From there, everything fell into place—late-night talks turned into weekend adventures, inside jokes became daily traditions, and what started as a swipe became the love of our lives. Looking back, it’s funny to think that one small decision on an app led us here—to a life filled with love, laughter, 4 kiddos and now, marriage. We couldn’t be more grateful that technology brought us together, but more importantly, that we chose each other every step of the way. And now, we can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter of our story with all of you!
