Our Wedding

It all began with a swipe right. Adriel was peer-pressured to download Bumble (translation: a dating app), and he figured he would give this dating thing one more try. Not having much hope, he created a profile with three pictures and his only listed interest as basketball. Lindsay came down with Covid and decided on a whim to download the app. She, too, would give dating one last shot and then be content for the rest of life as a single mom to Pancake if nothing worked out. On May 15th, 2023 Lindsay and Adriel matched on Bumble. Bumbles niche in the dating app world is for women to message first, and Lindsay struggled to come up with a witty conversation starter given the limited information she had to work with. As an aside, one of Lindsays listed talents was napkin folding, so her profile wasnt really any more impressive. She ended up challenging Adriel to his only interest: a game of basketball. The pair agreed to meet at Zinchouse on May 21st. Adriel brought Lindsay roses and held the door for her, which caught her off guard. Though Adriel was nervous, the conversation flowed smoothly - so smoothly, in fact, that it felt like they had known each other for some time. Zinchouse closed, but the date HAD to continue. Adriel followed Lindsay to Goodberrys, a custard shop in Durham, and he was impressed with Lindsays exemplary driving on the way. After they finished their custard, Lindsay and Adriel took a stroll around the complex (translation for Trini friends: compound) and shared their first kiss in the Lowes foods parking lot. They both left their date feeling a little shaken as neither of them were expecting to find the first spark of true love. A couple months later they became official and the rest is history. Lindsay and Adriel did eventually play a game of basketball. Lindsay won (5-0).

How Lindsay and Adriel Met

Our Story

Photos

Kevin and Joanne met in NY in the 1980s  and were long-distance writing letters (awww) until Kevin moved to MI to attend MSU for a degree in Chem E. After they were married, they moved to Freeland, MI where they had Lindsay. The family moved to Texas for a bit, then settled back down in Freeland, where they remained. In 2023, they bought a home by Lake Royale where they spend the winters.

Ronald and Letitia met in Trinidad at a basketball game. Letitia then lived in Barbados for some months, but this did not stop the love from growing. Long distance letters were sent to each other for that time. Letitia eventually returned to Trinidad and reunited with Ronald. Ronald and Letitia got married in the early 90's and started a family of their own with four kids: Adriel, Kariel, Dariel and Riquiel.

Lindsay and Kayla met when they were both at NC State as students, but their moms were pen pals as young adults. Since their first conversation, Kayla and Lindsay have always been able to chat about everything under the sun. They share memories of Starbucks runs for coffee every Sunday, throwing a couch down two flights of stairs, and traveling to Panama!

Lindsay and Anna met as first years in graduate school at NC State and immediately became gym buddies. They ended up working in labs right across the hall from one another. Over the years they've shared many hours talking and laughing in restaurants around the triangle, solving murders via murder mystery box, and even completing a sprint triathlon!

Anna Parrish

Breanne and Lindsay lived in the same neighborhood growing up and have been friends ever since they can remember. In middle and high school they shared many classes where they sometimes got in trouble for talking, rode on countless bus trips quoting their fave comedians,  skiid in the mountains of Colorado, and shared lots of laughs. 

Breanne Lievense

Katryne and Lindsay grew up going to the same church and their families knew eachother long before either of them were born. They have many fun memories over the years including naming all of Lindsay's fish, traveling to Europe and Boston, enduring a hail storm in a van in the plains of Colorado, and pulling an allnighter just to say they did it.

Katryne Carolus

Kariel and Adriel met when Adriel was very young. When Adriel found out Kariel was born and wasn't a boy, he was so mad he passed out. Kariel and her husband, Malik, helped Adriel pull off the engagement in Savannah, Georgia after plans were halted by hurricane Helene.

Dariel and Adriel met when Dariel was 0 years old and Adriel was 6(ish). They both love to watch Disney movies, gym together, and ride rollercoasters. Dariel is a very accomplished acrobat/gymnast!

Dariel La Fleur

Pancake started as Lindsay's dog, but quickly turned into Adriel's too. This trooper was found living under a bus, pregnant with 11 puppies. Now, she's the unofficial mascot of Blueline Aviation.

Riquiel was the brother that Adriel wanted to be the second child, but ended up being the youngest. Though they are 10 years apart, Riquiel and Adriel bonded over two-hour gym sessions and late-night snacks while everyone else were alseep.

Riquiel La Fleur

Vishnu and Adriel met when Vishnu started as a shy student at Blueline Aviation. That quickly changed when Vishnu transitioned from student to colleague. They quickly bonded over their love of Mexican and Indian food.

Vishnu Iyengar

Sam shares 3.8% of his DNA with Lindsay because they are (2nd) cousins and also he is married to one of Lindsay's closest friends. He also once ruined Lindsay's idea that tadpoles swim upstream to become dolphins with basic scientific fact when they were young, but she forgives him. 

Sam Carolus

Adriel and Joseph met during new-hire training at Blueline Aviation. Joseph fell in love with Adriel and Adriel fell in love with Joseph's jalapeno poppers. From day one, they've enjoyed talking crap in the office and on the radio comms (flying terminology) every day. 

Joseph Singleton

Liam and Adriel met as students at Blueline. They bonded over chats at waffle house. Keep an eye out if you fly SkyWest, you may just see them as co-captains!

Liam Kroes

Victor is an airplane mechanic that met Adriel as a student a Blueline when Adriel walked in on Victor teaching Joseph about airplanes. Victor refers to Lindsay as "Adriel's roommate."
