Once upon a time, in the digital realm of modern romance, two souls found each other through a swipe. Yes, you read it right – our love story began on Tinder. Miraculously, Marc survived Colleen’s quick and decisive swiping. Now, Marc may not have owned a boat, dirt bike or snowmobile, but he had a secret weapon: a furry sidekick. But let's rewind a bit. On one side of the screen was Colleen, a girl with an affinity for furry friends, particularly her beloved Newfoundland dog, Ghillie. Her Tinder bio? Empty. Well, except for that adorable picture of Ghillie, who clearly stole the spotlight. Little did anyone anticipate, Ghillie would soon play a pivotal role in our love story. On the other side was Marc, his profile not just a showcase of himself, but also prominently featuring his handsome companion and wingpup, Fred. As for who made the first move? Well, that’s a mystery for the ages. Was it Fred, with his keen canine intuition or perhaps Marc himself? We’ll never know for sure. Their opening message to Colleen was simple yet intriguing: "Where's your favorite place to take Ghillie?" It was a question that sparked a conversation that would change their lives forever. Our first date? Picture this: a socially distanced gathering under the open sky because, hey, 2020 was one crazy ride. We first met at Peekskill Brewery, where we enjoyed craft beer and good food under the open sky. From that day on, Ghillie and Fred became more than just our best friends – they were the furry cupids who sparked our relationship and the beginning of our adventures. Countless evenings were spent walking together in the park and exploring new adventures with our faithful canine companions. And now, as we stand on the brink of forever, and can't help but be grateful for the unlikely matchmakers that brought us together – our mischievous pups. Ghillie and Fred may never fully grasp the significance of this day, but we know that without them, our paths might never have crossed. Here's to love, laughter, and the four-legged friends who brought us together.
