Our story starts when we both matched on Hinge back in June of 2022. We had our first date at Main Street Meats on June 22nd. Stephanie ordered a burger because she did not want her gluten allergy to make her seem "high maintenance". Frank wishes to this day that he had eaten the other half of her burger, but he was worried about being rude. Instead, he went home from the date and deleted his dating profile.

A week later, Stephanie was moving out of her downtown apartment but her moving plans fell through. She was left with only her best friend and a moving truck, no other help in sight. Frank volunteered himself to help move, coming over with short notice, carrying all the furniture, loading up the truck, and driving across town. It turns out, we were moving within 10 minutes from each other!

From nightly walks around Stephanie's neighborhood to date nights at Dave and Buster's, it was clear that we had found something special. We were lucky enough to mesh well with each other's friend groups; enjoying Friendsgivings, summer parties, movie and game nights, and Trivia Tuesdays. Stephanie showed Frank her love for games, family, and slushies, while Frank shared his passion for travelling and rock climbing.

In September of 2024, we headed off to Portland with a few friends for a nice vacation. It was very eventful! We got kicked out of our an Airbnb, served spoiled ice cream in an abandoned mall, and got engaged all in one day! We could not have asked for a better trip or story for our special day.

The last few years have been very eventful; we have experienced amazing love and laughs, along with tragic loss. Above all, we are so thankful for the friends and family that we have gained while merging our lives together. We thank you all for your support and love, and we are so excited to celebrate with you.

I'm visiting from out of town. What can I do while I'm in Chattanooga?
