All because we both swiped right ...

Picture of All because we both swiped right ...

Let's go back to August 2016. Yes, you read it right! lol

We had a match on a dating app 8 years ago, but we only had the chance to have our first date after 6 years, in 2022. Tami was living in Washington D.C and Nick in Illinois.

We believe that there is a right time for all things, and when it's meant to be time and distance don't matter. And we were meant to be TOGETHER!

Let's Recap

When we matched in 2016, we exchanged phone numbers and social media and followed each other's lifestyle there. It was in October 2021 that Nick posted a silly Halloween photo and Tami made a comment. This was the moment we started talking.

We haven't been apart since we met for the first time. We knew it would be challenging to maintain a long-distance relationship, but we also knew it would be worth it. We then decided to take turns and travel once a month to meet up.
