Once upon a time, in the digital realm of modern romance, fate conspired to bring together two souls who were destined for each other. Our story began on the bustling dating app, Bumble, where serendipity intervened to create a beautiful love story. Tara, a firm believer that she would never resort to using a dating app, found herself hitting download after an evening (or two) of wine with her sister who was persistent she download Bumble. Tara hesitantly downloaded the app, not knowing that her life was about to change forever. She does have a slide show saved to this day to display how entertaining 48 hours can be on a dating app!

Among the countless profiles and potential matches, one person stood out, a ray of light amidst the sea of strangers (and some not strangers including her 7th grade prom date). Chance, guided by some unseen force, swiped right, and after a moment of contemplation, Tara accepted the connection. Their conversations flowed and it was like they knew there was something undeniably special about each other. Just two hours after connecting, they exchanged phone numbers.

As days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, their connection grew deeper and stronger. Ok, it was weeks not months. But with every passing moment, it became evident that love was blossoming, and their hearts had found their home in each other. "When you know, you know," they would say, and for Tara and Chance, this saying couldn't have been more accurate.

And so, here we are, ready to embark on the next chapter of our journey together. As we join our lives in marriage, we carry with us the enchanting tale of how you should never say never to dating apps and that God's timing is better than ours.
