Like many modern love stories, ours started with a swipe — thanks, Hinge! From the moment we matched, it felt like we had known each other forever. We couldn’t stop talking, laughing, and sharing our worlds with each other like no one and nothing else mattered.

Our first date was one to remember — an escape room in Palm Springs. Knowing one of us (okay, her) doesn’t do scary, he thoughtfully chose the Titanic-themed room. Spoiler alert: we didn’t escape in time, but we definitely found something special — each other.

From then on, every day together felt like a little adventure. Whether we’re lifting weights at the gym, cuddling with dogs, planning spontaneous outings, or bonding over our mutual love of food (we take our meals very seriously), being together just works. We’re best friends, each other’s biggest cheerleaders, and the calm in each other’s chaos.

The proposal? Pure magic. He asked her father for his blessing, then teamed up with her sister to plan a surprise that included lots of happy tears. It was everything she dreamed of and more — a moment full of love, laughter, and family.

We’ve built a relationship on love, compassion, friendship… and let’s be honest, snacks. We can’t wait to continue this journey as husband and wife, side by side (probably with takeout in hand).
