Our story started like a lot of modern-day love stories do these days—on a dating app. Both of us almost ready to call it quits on the online dating world, would never have thought this would be the outcome of just giving it one more chance. It was the little things that brought us closer after the very first date: endless SpongeBob quotes, making each other cry laughing, and effortless conversations. We clicked immediately, and after only four months, we were ready to take the leap and move in together. But we decided to hit pause—just to make sure we weren’t moving too fast. We agreed to wait and see if we were just caught up in the excitement or if this was the real thing. Spoiler: it was. We both knew it then, and we're just so happy to be here now, with a love that's built on A LOT of laughter, patience, and daily SpongeBob references.
