Our Wedding

Paige and Tom met through the dating app Hinge (thanks Meg&nbsp;and Sean!). &nbsp;They went on their first date at Monk's Cafe in Philadelphia&nbsp;and spent nearly 4 hours drinking beer and eating mussels. &nbsp;Tom left thinking Paige wasn't interested, but decided to give&nbsp;it a shot anyway. &nbsp;After their second date, they were both sold. &nbsp;After dating for 3 months, they decided to move in together - and the rest is history!

How We Met

Tom proposed outside&nbsp;Independence Hall&nbsp;after dinner at Russet for his 30th birthday. &nbsp;He planned a surprise engagement party at Buffalo Billiards and invited friends and family from all over. &nbsp;I also planned a surprise party at Buffalo Billiards on the same night, but for his 30th birthday. &nbsp;We invited the same friends and family, who kept the secret from both of us for weeks! After proposing at Independence Hall, we walked into Buffalo Billiards and were both shocked that we planned surprises for each other at the same bar on the same night.
