Hi! We’re Maitland and Raden — two nerdy, creative, and adventure-loving people who swiped right on Hinge and never looked back.

Our very first date was on February 10, 2024, at Queen & Rook Cafe in Philadelphia. At this cozy little board game café the perfect tone was set for what would become our favorite kind of day: good food, great games, and even better company.

Together, we love walking trails like White Clay Creek and Newlin Grist Mill, cooking our way through Maitland’s many (many) cookbooks, playing our favorite board game Wingspan, and keeping up with JetLag on YouTube. We’re always down for a new project or home upgrade — especially if it involves a trip to Lowe’s. (Bonus points if we can bring along Joules, who is absolutely the boss of us.)

On November 23, 2024, we got engaged after Raden pulled off a well-executed surprise. Under the pretense of taking Christmas card photos on Joules’ birthday, Maitland went ahead and planned the whole thing — unknowingly organizing her own proposal. (Classic.)

With all the nerdiness in our hearts, we’re saying “I do” on Pi Day — March 14, 2026. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
