We believe that every love story is unique, but ours truly feels like fate brought us together. Here’s how it happened…
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in January 2022, both of us found ourselves quarantined—Terri at home on her birthday and Chris in Lexington, having moved there a few months prior. Both feeling isolated and seeking some connection, we turned to the dating app Tinder, more out of boredom than expectation. Tinder’s chat feature, which matched users based on similar answers to questions, became our unexpected matchmaker.
We couldn’t see each other’s pictures initially, only engaging in conversation. It was during these chats that we felt an incredible connection. When the time came to reveal our photos after choosing to continue our conversation, we both swiped right. Not only did we discover a physical attraction, but our personalities meshed perfectly.
Our initial conversations turned into daily phone calls that lasted for hours, solidifying our bond before we even met in person. When we finally did meet, it felt like destiny.
We are so excited to share our special day with all of you and look forward to celebrating our journey together!
