You know when they say you meet ~your person~ when you least expect it? Yeah, that’s when Peter and I met. Peter and I both went to college at UW-Whitewater however our paths never crossed (knowingly). Our paths were destined to cross when we matched with each other on the dating app, Hinge. Our first conversation consisted of Peter introducing himself and since he saw I was an orthodontic assistant, he slyly started talking about how he had had braces for 8 years.

After talking for a few days we planned a date to go kayaking downtown Waukesha on the Fox River (because I had a coupon) on September 5th, 2020. Peter arrived first and texted me "I am sitting on my car". I thought this was a typo and assumed he meant "in" in the car. When I pulled up sure enough there was this 24-year-old, super attractive guy sitting ON his car.

When we met each other in person we got so lost in conservation and ended up getting skipped while we were in line waiting for kayaks by people who landed the last kayaks for the next 30 minutes or so. We decided to walk around the river and talk instead which turned out to probably be better than kayaking.

We found out so many things about each other such as our NFL favorite team differences, our favorite flavor of ice cream, our career goals, what our families were like, and that it is a small world indeed (because we found out Peter knew my Aunt Lori and Uncle Chuck from his work at Carlin Horticultural because he would sell them greenhouses and other products). Our conversations seemed endless.

When our date ended we hugged each other and said our goodbyes. Peter said that he was interested in seeing each other again, and sure enough, we planned a second date for the following day. From there on out, the rest is history. We were inseparable, spending as much time together as we could.

Today we still enjoy reminiscing on how we met and the conversations we had. Every day we look forward to learning something new about each other, laughing, and loving each other. We are excited to see our love continue to grow as we grow old together and spend the rest of our lives together. <3
