Our Wedding

﻿Like many modern love stories, ours began with a swipe. After moving from New York to Delaware for a fresh start, Nicole matched with Keith on Tinder. Sometimes love finds you in the most unexpected, yet perfect, way—even on Tinder. When Nicole and Keith matched, neither of them expected that a swipe right would change their lives forever. What started as a simple conversation quickly turned into a deep friendship—and before long, a love that felt steady, effortless, and meant to be. Their bond grew stronger with every laugh shared, every plan dreamed up, and every quiet moment that just felt like home. But this isn’t just a story about two people—it’s about three. From the very beginning, Haisley, Keith’s amazing daughter, was a joyful part of the journey. With her bright spirit and big heart, she brought even more meaning to what Nicole and Keith were building together. As a family, they’ve shared milestones, dance parties in the kitchen, bedtime giggles, and Sunday morning pancakes. Every step brought them closer together—not just as a couple, but as a team. Now, Nicole, Keith, and Haisley are so excited to officially become a family. This wedding is more than a celebration of love between two people—it’s a celebration of the life they’ve created together, the memories yet to come, and the people who mean the most to them. He swiped right. She did too. And the rest is history!
